I get the message. You should specify the name ".font", despite the document's
references to "fontname/size" in a context that leads one to believe that's
what you should do. Look, the documentation is abysmal, OK? Why they didn't
just use the -man macros (they were obviously using *roff), and follow the UNIX
documentation standards?

My main peeve is this: where they have:

	process = CreateProc(name, pri, segment, stacksize)
	D0                   D1    D2   D3       D4

Why didn't they do this:

	process = CreateProc(name, pri, segment, stacksize)
	struct MessagePort *process; /* D0 */
	UBYTE *name; /* D1 */
	int pri; /* D2 */
	...

You have to guess at types all over the place. Is there a decent set of docs
anywhere?
