IBM has been making an effort to post all of the Red Books on their web
site for searchable access.  If you have Internet access, check out:

http://www.developer.ibm.com  -- overview of OS/2 devloper support programs

http://www.ibm.com/search.html -- search IBM documentation

http://www-i.almaden.ibm.com/redbooks -- Red Book index and abstracts

Note that this nomenclature indicates a serial collection
("SK...") at its initial release ("...-00").  This is a
bundle of other serials, usually on CD-ROM.  For example, you can order a
CD-ROM containing all 37 Red Books related to OS/2 as SK2T-2176-05
"OS/2 Collection," and a CD-ROM containing all 142 Red Books
related to networking as SK2T-6022-04 "IBM Networking
Collection."

Have a look at GG24-3580-01 "Developing a CUA Workplace
Application" and at GG24-3438-00 "Writing SAA Applications for
AS/400."  CUA is also referenced in GG24-3774-01 "OS/2 Version 2
Volume 4: Writing Programs" and in GG24-3944-00 "Evaluation of
OS/2 V2.0 Application Development Tools."
