The *.memo files which are the 'online' versions are from the original 1.8c

Beta 1.8d manuals are at  ftp.lsoft.com/listserv/beta-1.8d/manuals-beta  in
Word6, RTF and PDF format only for now.

You don't have a printer?  The beta manuals are available as above and can be
printed by you.  Final distribution will include several other popular
wordprocessor formats for US and European A4 paper as well as Postscript and
plain ASCII.
