BEFORE the 2.0 RKM's come out, they should fix them RIGHT!
Attention RKM dudes:
Add the DOS.library commands to the Includes and AutoDocs, and give examples
in the Libraries & devices book!
I don't want to go out a buy a LAME DOS manual with only 6 pages of useful
information in it (and meager at that!)
See ya

Also, please add error condition tests to the programs so that they
fully and completely follow the Amiga programming guidelines. One of
the more irritating phases of being an Amiga programmer is to see C-A
break the rules while demanding that developers follow them (compare
cut/copy/paste in 2.0: it doesn't use the system clipboard (you ought
to hear their explanation why...)).

The DOS manual is Bantam stuff; might be hard to transfer the DOS book
to Addison-Wesley... I'd be happy to see it happen though, so the DOS
docs could be included in the RKM.

The console.device itself doesn't use the clipboard.device, because its in ROM, and the clipboard.device is on the workbench disk. (console.device also has a task, rather than a process) There is a utility on conclip which runs in the background, and sends and gets the internal console.device clips to and from the clipboard.device.
