p.s. Don't feel bad about asking for a manual.
The rest of us here owned real Amigas during the day and we still want documentation for MOS.
However, there just isn't any.
It might help you to go read an old AmigaDos book.

Here is a list of commonly needed apps on the left and what MOS has to offer on the right. On your main hard drive is a folder called Applications. Look in there for some of these apps:

Web browser OWB (Odysey Web Browser) 1.24. Same engine as Mac Safari.
