I'm doing some AmigaBasic hacking and it is mostly all working out fine.
BUT... I"m quickly running into the boundaries of what's easy to do.
Are there any reference books or journals or the like discussing advanced
use of AmigaBasic.  For example, the kinds of problems I've been trying
to program around include:
  a) how do you set up gadgets from Basic
  b) Is it possible to set up a program so that when it is started
the dumb "Amigabasic" screen doesn't pop up AT ALL.
  c) Is there some way to package up an amigabasic program so it is callable
from the CLI *AND* can get at its command-line args?
  d) Can you set up an AmigaBasic program so that it can be started
by the one-=click-on-this-icon-then-shift-doubleclick-on-the-program-icon
hack.

Stuff like that... Note that this is a "I need to learn how to fish"
request: some advice about these sorts of specific problems would be
nice, but what I really looking for are references (if there are any)
in this general area.  Thanks!!
