The question is: is this manual >supposed to have been included, or is it a separate (and separately >priced) object like the "extended editor" (vi) stuff? So, did you buy the "Utilities" set? The manuals you list are for the operating system, and the operating system only. The utilities include your (real) vi, cc, and all the other tools that make life worth living beyond the realm of a user. If you bought that, you'll also receive: 1. Programmers Guide 2. User's Manual I and II 3. Virtual Device Interface and 4. Utilities (all the disks) Since you didn't mention #4, my guess is that you didn't purchase the set, and therefore you don't have any of the manuals. If you did purchase it, perhaps it's one of those cases where your vendor installed the software for you. In that case, they didn't send along the manuals, and you should contact them. If it was purchased used, well, caveat emptor and try your best. (Of course, if you have it, and didn't pay for it, well, such is life... :-) -- ________Robert J.
