You can download a PDF file from www.curiouslabs.com. That is what I did. But to be honest, I find that there is much more help here in the forum than the manual offers. I have only had P4 for about 6 months now and spend most of my time here learning how to do things. You can also find out about other programs that work well with it like Wings3D and UVmapper. Best of luck, Pony
