I have had a few responses -- the manual is online already.

Rich Cini has it on his web site, listed as AltairBASIC_1275:

http://highgate.comm.sfu.ca/~rcini/classiccmp/Altair32links.htm

It is also available in his Altair32 emulator bundle.

Fritz Chwolka points out that there is probably at least one version of 
it at the www.trs80.com web site.  There are a ton of manuals there.  He 
also has it mirrored here:

I guess I don't need to scan my copy.

Thank to everyone who replied privately.
