- I'd say more than a lot. I would say it is essential. While the
- autodocs tell you about the individial functions, they do *not*
- tell you how they are intended to be used together in the context
- of a program you may be writing. Only the RKM's do that.
-
- Sure, you might be able to piece it together from the includes
- and autodocs, but the time it would take to get the correct
- picture, you could have more than made enough money to buy the
- RKM's just by panhandling.
-
- Buy the RKM: Libraries (3rd edition).

-
- Not quite that simple. You also have to indicate to gadtools that you
- want the '_' character to mean that the following character is to
- be underscored. Otherwize, your gadget will say "_Help".
