The Bryce manual is available in PDF format on the program CD. Just copy it to your Hard Drive and leave it somewhere you can get to it easily. In poser, clicking "help" opens to the poser PDF manual, which by default is installed on your computer. In bryce, tha manual does not install on the Hard drive, but it's there. Frankly, I think metacreations got lazy and decided to just tack their manual on as the "Help" file for poser, and didn't even bother going that far for bryce. But then considering the amount of holes in their products, It's not surprising.
