The idea of an "Amiga Bible" has been bandied around many times. Currently,
I am writing a short user's guide for the speech department here. They have
an Amiga 500, with assorted goodies, and it really isn't getting used the
way it could be, because no one wants to take the time to read the manual. 

So, I am making "magic disks" that will severly cut down on their options,
but make tasks like creating TV TEXT screens easy, and scripts in TV Show.
Fortunately, both programs are somewhat easy to use. Unfortuately, TV Show
seems to be somewhat unstable. 

Things like xicon and Pete Da Silva's Browser will figure prominently into
the overall scheme of things. These people are used to Macs, if they have
even ever used a computer. I have been seriously tempted to do an Assign
Df0: a: , but I think that is going a little too far. 
 
 I am not promising anything authoritative, but it will be easy to read
 without being insulting. I might make it available later, if anyone is
 interested.
