Sharp PC-E500S manual?

Thanks also for the effort to translate and share the manual portions for the new structured programming commands.

Sorry to revive this old thread. I found it yesterday while having the same problem as the first poster. Now I know there’s no English manual but we have a good enough workaround. And I thank you all for the responses.

But now I can’t get another question from my head: Why didn’t Sharp sell the PC-E500S in the English speaking countries? Were they just testing waters in continental Europe, with poor results? Or were the UK and NA already taken by a strong competing product? Or had Sharp already a better product in their queue? Anything else?
