	Ahh shoot... if you keep on suggesting book names I'll never figure
a good one out for myself!

	Autodocs:  I don't think I can unless I get permission from 
Commodore...

	DME:  *great* new command in the next release.  I will also finally
fix the keyboard problems (DME doesn't recognize some keys on WestGerman
A2000's and there other problems with forward-single-quote with keymaps 
which don't implement them).  The command?  Oh yah... 

	How often are you programming around and need to lookup a structure?
For instance, you forgot what the RastPort structure looked like.  How would
you like to be able to hit a single key and have that structure pop-up in
a DME window?  I thought you would!  It's mainly a feature for programmers
as some cross reference files need to be set up, but after that it's fully
automatic and quite fast.   And we are not limited to structures... how 
'bout looking up library calls with a keystroke.   Of course, this does
mean you need to have the autodocs and commented include files on-line,
but it works well on a two-drive system and is much faster than looking it
up in a manual.
