Per-store prices and aisles remembers the price/aisle individually for each store (it builds a table of data inside the item).

When per-store prices and aisles is OFF, then the price/aisles are stored in the Unfiled store.  You can copy them from the Unfiled store to a specific store by choosing "Edit Stores..." from the Stores dropdown, and then using the Menu to choose "Copy".  Select "Unfiled" as the store to copy from, then select whichever store you wanted to copy the old prices/aisle to, then check the "Prices" and "Aisles" checkboxes (do NOT check the "Items" checkbox for this!!).  Then choose "Done" to perform the copy.

As for a manual, did you know that in the Windows Mobile version there is a bunch of built-in Help text?  Many screens have a question mark icon in the top right corner - tap it to view the Help text for that screen.  Many other screens have Help text as well even if they don't have a question mark icon - tap Start and then choose Help to view their Help text.
