DESCRIPTION
-
The Help window is used to access the debugger's
help system. You can use the
window open command
to open the Help window; however, the help
command provides the most efficient method of opening the window. By default,
the help < >
command is assigned to the PF1 key, which provides context-sensitive help
that is based on cursor position.
Hypertext help system The help system
is composed of a series of cards that are displayed in the Help window and
linked together by logical concepts. You can move between cards by selecting
the link that connects your current card with another card to which it is
logically related. To select a link and move to another card, move the cursor
to the link and press the ENTER key.
The initial card displayed in the Help window depends
on which method you used to access the help system. The first method, issuing
the help command from the Command window, displays
the help system INDEX as shown above. Other methods of accessing the help
system result in different initial cards. For example, pressing the PF1 key
while the cursor is in the Command window displays the card for the Command
window as the initial card in the Help window.
Using hypertext links Regardless
of the method that you use to access the help system, the initial card displayed
in the Help window always contains a series of five navigation links that
are displayed on the top line. Navigation links are used to rapidly move through
the help system following a predefined path or to backtrack through the cards
you have previously displayed. The function of these navigation links is as
follows:
-
NEXT
-
causes the next card in a predefined series
of cards to be displayed.
-
PREV
-
causes the previous card in a predefined
series of cards to be displayed.
-
BTRK
-
enables you to backtrack and review cards
that you have already viewed.
-
INDEX
-
takes you to the help system INDEX card.
-
HELP
-
takes you to the first card in this series
of cards providing information about the help system.
