First you should learn how to spell it right :-)

|   less especially all the others) could possibly make a copy of it and mail

You are asking people to do an illegal act.  All Tektronix manuals are
copyrighted and they cannot be duplicated at will (the way you want it would
definitely not be included into the "fair use" doctrine).  Besides, the manuals
are not that expensive. The one for the 4014 is abot $20.   The one for the 
4105 about $50 (and it is worth it).  You can order either one from your
local Tektronix sales office.

I can't believe that at CMU they don't have any Tek terminals.  Have you
looked around?

At CMU we don't have any Tek terminals.  What we do have are hundreds, no make
that thousands, of IBM RTs, Suns, and Microvaxes.  The campus also has IBM PCs
and Macintoshes.  Basically if you want a Tektronix terminal you run a Tek
emulator on a PC with a Hercules card (every monochrome PC on campus is
equipped with one).

There used to be one very old Tek terminal in the University Computing Center
but they threw it out about two years ago.  Progress, progress.

Well if you have RTs, Suns and Microvaxes you should have at least one copy 
of the MIT X Window System, which also runs Andrew.  The xterm which comes,
IN SOURCE FORM, as part of X inc;uded both a VT100 and tek4014 emulator.
A good place to start

(kind of masochistic of me that I am selling a commercial tek 4014 emulator :-)
