	I'm new to the amiga, and as I've been reading through several
different manuals on what the beast can do, am getting more and more
impressed.  Thing is, I'm having trouble getting all the information
I need.  As if the Hardware ref, rom kernel ref, and the the dos ref(s)
aren't enough to keep me busy, they always reference things that I can't
find information on.  

	for examples:  What's all in the Amiga library, what are the parameters
to the calls, etc. 

	where can I find an intelligient guide to the amiga, that
while for the beginner, assumes I know what #$!@ basic is, how to program in
C and assembler, and use CLI!  There's no middle ground!!!

	Also, how does one get at the serial port...  I need to driver the sucker
at 115K Baud, and yes I know what I'm saying.  If my awful PC can be coerced
into it, why can't the Amiga?

I've been at this too long,
