[Coco] My Windows Readme

[Bill Pierce]

I didn't say the old ones aren't searchable, just that the new ones were. There are also MANY scans of the old ones that are not searchable. Almost everything on CocoCoding is searchable thanks to Aaron's work.
Apparently, Aaron never put the "Getting Started With NitrOS9" section on his site. as for "where?" Try here... where they were created:
http://sourceforge.net/p/nitros9/wiki/Main_Page/#documentation

And all sections there are named properly. I think it's all in HTML and would have to be copied, but in the "code" section of the repo, you can find the "docbook" versions which have to be compiled.
There used to be a section that contained all the sctions in "doc" format, but it's now buried in SF's new interface.

	And these are ...
WHERE???

	The Nitros-9 versions on CoCoCoding only include
Level_2_Windowing
and Technical_Reference. NOT the
OS-9L2CommandsReference which Bob and I
specifically mentioned...

	Geez, I'm glad you told me that the OS-9 pdf
versions on
CoCoCoding are NOT searchable. I've been doing that for years...
