1 Introduction to the Micro/RSX Master Index
The Master Index is a comprehensive index for manuals included in both the Base Kit and the
Advanced Programmer's Kit of the Micro/RSX documentation set. The indexes of individual
manuals are compiled into one, unabridged, Master Index.
Audience

The Master Index is a valuable tool for all users of the Micro/RSX operatlno -,ystem. It enables
experienced users to find the best reference for a topic discussed in more than one manual; also,
it serves as a guide for new users who are not sure which manual contains the information they
need.

1. 1 Format of the Master Index
Master Index entries appear in alphabetical order in a two-column format. Primary index entries
begin with a capital letter in the left margin (acronyms and command names are in all capital
letters). Subentries are not capitalized and are indented.
Book references appear in italics immediately after the index entry. Note that the book references
in the Master Index are abbreviated versions of the actual manual titles. (See the table in the
next section for manual titles and abbreviations used in the Master Index.)
The following example shows how a topic discussed in more than one manual appears in the
Master Index:
Object module
linking, Task Builder, 1-1
name assignment, MACRO-II, 6-15
storing in library
LBR utility, Utilities, 10-19

1.2 Manuals Included in the Master Index
The following table lists all of the manuals included in the Master Index and their abbreviated
titles. Note that the indexes for the EDT Editor Manual the Micro/RSX Base Kit Release Notes,and
the Micro/RSX Release Notes are not included in the Master Index. Please refer to the individual
indexes for information on topics pertaining to those manuals.
