- Why isn't a basic ToolBox book going to cut it? Maybe for the pallette,
- but that's covered in IM V and VI. All the other things (windows,
- scroll bars, dragging outlines, ...) are simple and basic to ANY

- Well, wait until your budget recovers. Or buy at least volume I and VI,
- after that II, IV and V in that order. Or buy a CD ROM reader and
- a $30/year _Develop_ subscription; the magazine is good and it comes
- with a large reference/tools CD that you HAVE to have.
