There might be a problem that this version is build from a not official released PSPP tarball and it is much newer/better/extensive as the released version. So you can't always use the "official" manual, although most things are the same.
You can find the manual corresponding to your actual PSPP version local on your PC with "Start" "All programs" "PSPP" "Manual". The link on pspp.awardspace.com points to newer versions of the manual which don't have a corresponding windows setup yet.

Anyway, if it is wrong in the manual local on your PC it is a bug and it should be reported.

Have fun
