Yes, keyboard reference sheets, spell lists, etc... manuals can have lots of very helpful information. They also can greatly add to the story and the world the game is set in -- see the Starcraft manual, for instance. Brilliant. As I said, especially on the PC manuals have been an important part of the presentation and the product, and it's sad to see these lame little boxes with their pitiful mini-manuals... will we never see a real manual like Starcraft's again? :(
