I remember when looking at some (very) low level code that the SH manual
was absoultely useless as it used C names and I was using the Asm names.
I resorted to looking at the Asm header code in desperation.

But on the whole I haven't had a problem with the OSLib manual.

Correction, when programming in assembler I don't use the OSLib manual -
it never comes up when I hit F1 in StrongED.

Having looked at the definition of the StrongED ObjAsm manual, it does
include the OSLib SH manual as a F1 search-source, but understandably
the SWI manuals take precedence in the F1 search-list.

So yes, it would be nice to have a OSLib Asm manual.


Ah, so in answer to original question, no we don't use the existing help
becuase it is not relevant to/useful for us.

However, if we could have one, it would be great!


Yours,
