Sorry - wrong.  The manuals you refer to (white with the coloured
square on the cover and the coloured stripe near the bottom of the
spine) were for the 1.1 release of the system software.  I used to keep
printed copies of the autodocs of the 1.2 Intuition functions tucked
in the back of mine.  The original 1.0 manuals were all white.  Actually,
those aren't even the originals, since we have here prerelease manuals
corresponding to very early pre-1.0 software.

One day years from know, a good trivia question will be "Name each of the
1.1 manuals and state what colour they were"...
