Found it by dumb luck!

The documentation linked from the Powerhouse page only has the old 
documentation. That page is;
http://powerhouse.cognos.com/products/powerhouse/download.html

The page with more current documentation is available via this page;
http://support.cognos.com/en/support/index.html
Click on the left menu box on the word Documentation.
Click on "Browse the Documentation & Utilities Library"
Play with the primitive selection popups.

A STRONG suggestion to the Cognos people regarding those popups. Other 
sites have done this MUCH better.

When the lower selection, such as Type of Document is not available for 
the above selection, Product, PLEASE DO NOT MAKE IT AVAILABLE IN THE POP 
UP LIST.

An example is;
I choose product Powerhouse 4GL 8.4D and Type of document Reference Manual.

The response I get back is;
 No documents were found matching your criteria. Please modify you 
selection and try again.

AND MY SELECTIONS ARE GONE UPON RETURN!  GRRR! Thankfully the back 
button brings them back so I can try again.

Sorry for the rant. I just found this interface frustrating and _had_ to 
vent. Actually I often find the Cognos site frustrating.

For those that care, choose product "Powerhouse 4GL 8.4" to get the 
reference manuals. And there are two New Features PDF files. One for 8.4 
and one for 8.4D.
