You should have:

"Getting Started with the Domain Software Engineering Environment (DSEE)",
Order No. 008788-A01, April 1991 (HP ref no. D-8788-B)

"Using the Domain Software Engineering Environment (DSEE)",
Order No. 015798-A00, April 1991 (HP ref no. D-15798-B)

"Domain Software Engineering Environment (DSEE) Reference",
Order No.003016-A00, April 1991 (HP ref no. D-3016-B)

manuals.
