No, I think she means the full game manual. These are difficult to find on the web because they are copyrighted material. Have you tried searching for it in Kazaa? If it's there, it's probably a .pdf file which means you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view/print it. If you find it as a .doc file, make sure you scan it for viruses before opening it.
