Here; Here!  It couldn't cost that much extra to include a DOS manual.  I 
realize that most users would just use it occassionally for a reference, but
still it would be nice to have if needed.  The "Enhancer Manual" is worthless
save for the "New" commands (and even then it's pretty weak).  I would say 
that v1.4 should include a manual for AMIGA DOS with the upgrade too.

Just wishful thinin'.
