The Curious Labs website has the Poser 4 manual in PDF format. Click on downloads. Then on updates and documentation. Then from the pulldowns select Poser 4, Windows or Macintosh, and your language (English?) And it is free, you don't have to buy anything. Plus you might want to dwonload the Poser 4 service release while you are at it. http://www.curiouslabs.com
