There is the set "Microsoft OS/2 Programmer's Reference".  I have
volumes 1, 2, and 3.  Rumour has it there's a 4th.

Volume 1 provides a useful framework for the OS/2 API.  Volume 2 is a
PM function reference.  Volume 3 is a base function reference and may
not be *too* useful for you since you already have 'Advanced OS/2
Programming'.  Volumes 2 & 3 seem to be a printing of OS/2 QuickHelp.
