-is now a little out of date, so consult the [SSH Readme](doc/ssh-readme.md) for more
-details on what has changed in the Kermit 95 SSH implementation. 
-There is also a [Kermit 95 How-To](https://www.kermitproject.org/ckwhowto.html)
-which may be useful for new users.
+The Kermit 95 manual has mostly been revised for K95 v3.0 and is now included
+as of beta 7. To view it, choose _Manual_ from the _Help_ menu, or type the
+`manual` command at the K-95 prompt. There is also a 
+[Kermit 95 How-To](https://www.kermitproject.org/ckwhowto.html) which may be
