Well, I used to be a programmer on the Amiga and knew just about everything about it .. In 1990. Time flies.
Oh, and one last question -- does anyone have a link to just a general tips and tricks web site out there? Or maybe you have a book recommendation?
Thank you so much, everyone!

Time does fly indeed!
Fun to see that this platform still cuts it in several areas...
Regarding your first question, for times when programs actually do hang;
You can always use a systems-monitor tool, like xOpa, Scout or SnoopDOS...
They can be used to browse processes and send ctrl+c,d,e etc. commands
to interrupt them, or even remove them in a non-clean fashion.
I find DOS-Trace to be a real handy companion since I've never found
something similar for windooze, it tells you what an program looks for
among other things.
AmigaDOS can be immensely expanded with new commands in the c: directory
with commands like Kill or HandleCX too.
This website also contains pages with misc. links that you might find
interesting. (look at the top -links-)
And there's always Aminet.net, there's been a few additions since 1990
There's no such thing as a stupid question, only daft answers...
Welcome back, and Happy Computing!
