Forget about the Bryce manual - it mentions features that doesn't exist, blah, blah, blah. If you want to learn Bryce 4 buy Susan Kitchen's book 'Real World Bryce 4'. If you go to www.addall.com and enter the books title you'll get a list of bookstores selling it real cheap (cheaper than Amazon and Barnes & Noble usually). At over a 1000 pages it is thorough and accurate. Hope this helps, Jade
