- I upgraded to 2.04 not long ago and have been wading through various parts
- of the new manual. I think the index really bites. This morning I was
- looking for Enforcer information (the requestor asks for command line line
- arguments). Still haven't found it in the big book (which goes into
- great detail explaining such weighty topics like using window gadgets,
- double clicking, etc). I'll keep looking.
-
- What really gets me is that I stopped in at Safe Harbor the other day and
- they had these down and dirty quick reference guides to things like
- AmigaDos, Arrex, etc. Half a dozen pages of really useful information for
- $7-8 a copy (ouch). This is kind of stuff Commodore should be including in
- the manuals themselves instead of sending me off to get gouged by third
- party people filling in the gaps. (no offense intended to the third party
- suppliers - supply and demand - at least they're providing us with useful
- information.)
