I wonder if "Manip" would be better replaced by "Alter".

If the reader is not a native English speaker, or at least if his
English is not as good as yours, then the abbreviation "Manip" might
suggest something to do with Manuals and/or or IPs.  If he uses a
dictionary it might still not be clear.  OTOH a word like "Alter" is
complete and unambiguous.

Plus, of course, it's near the beginning of the dictionary.  :)
