Is there an online reference manual I can query which contains details of LoadRunner functions such as:

lr_start_transaction
web_url
web_submit_data
web_custom_request
lr_end_transaction

etc.?

Essentially, I want to be able to find out about these functions without having the LoadRunner environment licenced/installed.

There doesn't seem to be a web-based function reference but a ZIP file of Windows HTMLHelp (.CFM) files (the LoadRunner 9.10 VuGen API Reference) can be downloaded from here:

I found this by searching the HP Software Product Manuals with the following details (requires free registration):

Product: LoadRunner
Product version: 9.10 
Operating system: Windows

I tried version 9.50 as well but it did not provide a link...

One gotcha: once I had the .CFM on my machine I had to 'Unblock' them via the Properties dialog otherwise I got the 'This program cannot display the webpage' message within HTMLHelp.
