Here are a few web sites with MPE related manuals:

  official hp = http://docs.hp.com/en/mpeixall.html

  www.lrom3k.de.vu = http://invent3k.external.hp.com/~MGR.LROM3K/

  http://invent9k.external.hp.com/~csy/sysadmin.cgi


The first one has the official manuals in PDF and/or HTML
format, the second one has some of the older manuals (down
to the pre-PA-RISC MPE/V operating system) as well as HTML
versions of the MPE :HELP and Posix Shell man pages (with
keyword search), and the third one has three subsections
especially useful for comparison MPE/HP-UX for sys admin,
commands and programming APIs.

Oops, I just noticed that the 3rd web site is meant for
lookup of HP-UX topics based on their MPE equivalent, not
vice versa. So it won't be too useful in your case :-(

Fortunately you still have HP3000-L / comp.sys.hp.mpe ;-)
