The MI Functional Reference Manual is not available online nor is it included
on the AS/400 manuals softcopy library CD , but you can still order it from
IBM. It is a very large document (1440 pages), but it is a must-have. The
price varies between $35.00 and $200.00 depending on what version you want.
There is very little difference between versions, so your best deal is to
take the latest one you can get for $35.00. Here is how to order it:

Go to http://www1.ibmlink.ibm.com/
Select IBMLink for the United States.
Select the PubsCatalog link.
Select the Title/Indices link.
For Product Name enter: AS/400 Machine
Click the Search button.
You should get a list of the publications you are looking for.
You want ST01-4780 for $35.
