Yes, there is a .pdf maunal on the disk, but I'm back at square one again, printing out the whole thing, one page at a time. I have even emailed the Academic Support lines at Corel with my situation and haven't heard a peep from them yet (corelacademic@corel.com and clp@corel.com). I would go with Vue d'Esprit 4.01 - I have the registered 2.02 version with the animation package and, if anything, it works far better than what I've tried to do in Bryce 5, but Vue d'Esprit isn't available on the Mac platform. And please, don't even try to say that I could run Vue on Virtual PC - been there, tried it, never again... You do not want to run anything on Virual PC on a Mac. My teaching workstation is a G4 Cube with 512MB RAM and the 25 Macs in my lab are G3 650MHz 384MB iMacs with CD-RWs.
