Don: Once again, while this description of MEMF_PUBLIC seems pretty straightforward to me, I don't think it really registered on the typical Amiga programmer in 1986. As I was trying to suggest to Vic, there were probably a LOT of people who moved from the C64, Apple II, Tandy or other micros onto the Amiga platform. These people may not have had any mini or mainframe experience, and the importance of designating shared commons explicitly would be lost on them. Perhaps if a little more explanatory prose had been expended on this item, as well as more consistency in the example code that littered the RKM's (was EVERY instance of a shared structure declared PUBLIC in every example?) this problem would have been reduced.
