Our recent copy of the blit support manual (a blit-related version of
man called dmdman and all the various manual pages 1-8,l&n), dating
12/6/85, has nice examples included.  You get what looks like a normal
unix manual page (polygon(3) for example), and low and behold there on
the bottom of the page is a hello world size program/program-section
showing how to use the arcane little beasty that you just read about.
putting it at the bottom is definitely helpful for those times when
checking parameter order and type is all that you actually wanted.
