Mike,

The "Programming Manual" or the manual for the AtomPRO IDE is on the CD you
received (although it is an older version).  Links to the newest versions of
the software and manuals are on the Links page of the Group site.  Here's
the link to the AtomPRO downloads:

http://www.basicmicro.com/ViewPage.aspx?ContentCode=d_basicatompro

The "BasicATOMPRO Manual" *is* the programming manual for the PSIM-1.

Thanks,
Brice
