Hello, and thank you all for the great help and suggestions I've been receiving (it's making the MS-to-AmigaDOS transition a lot less painful!). To help cut down on my forum visits, I have been searching for a good (read "reference standard") AmigaDOS manual, one that has not only well-laid-out syntax diagrams, but that also explains why a certain command won't work, or when. I have tried the Bantam manual, but have found it almost as cryptic as my original MSDOS 1.1 manual, and am still trying to assign two paths to one devicename (is that possible?). Any suggestions, reviews, or publications (and ISBN #s if possible) would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping to find one that both covers the OS in a beginning-hold-by-the-hand format, and also will cover the low-level nuts-and-bolts of things on this machine. If I need to purchase two manuals, so be it, and thank you all in advance for your time. Peter

Well, I've had no problems with the 2.04 manual… It seems to have all the error messages I've needed. Indexing is a little off though…. Brian – via Whap!
