Redbook API's?

Fritz,
I couldn't agree more!  API's are a hard thing to get into if you are using
anything besides QCMDEXC.  I luckily had somebody show me how to use API's
but learning new ones is still a shot in the dark.  A Redbook for RPGIV
programmers on API's would be very much appreciated!(with practical examples
of course;-)

My hand is firmly down.

I think that a redbook dedicated to using apis in rpgiv, complete with 
prototypes,
examples, and a good cross reference by function would be valuable.  Maybe
one
of the list members who find them so easy has a few spare hours? <g>
