The help file comes up but just contains an error message

Where can I get the User's Manual for the real calculator?
I'm working the HP to get permission to reproduce the original manual as a PDF file. In the meantime, you might be able to find a copy elsewhere on the web. Try the this google search link: https://www.google.com/search?q=hp16c+users+manual
