Amiga BASIC came on the Amiga OS 1.3 extras disk.  You can buy the manual separately.  If you can get your hands on a set of 1.3 disks, then Ebay usually has a few people selling the manual.

Yes, it's true.  There is a bug in Amiga BASIC that causes it to crash on a 68020 or above processor.

AMOS is a good program to start with and you can go to The AMOS Factory for help on converting your Amiga Tricks and Tips code into AMOS BASIC.  

I believe Software Hut sells the AMOS Pro manual and you can download the ADF files for AMOS Pro from The AMOS Factory.

True, piss poor design is more like it, but in the end it's all the same.  The program doesn't work because of a problem at the source code level.  I consider this a bug in the broadest sense of the term.
