| <h1>Help system</h1> |
| |
| <p>The online help system lets you |
| browse, search, and print system documentation. The documentation is organized into sets of |
| information that are analogous to books. The help system also supplies a text |
| search engine for finding the information you need by keyword and |
| context-sensitive help for finding information to describe the particular |
| function you are working with.</p> |
| |
| <h2>The help browser</h2> |
| |
| <p>When you first open the help browser by selecting <b>Help > Help Contents</b> |
| in the Workbench, the first view shown is called Contents. Contents displays |
| various groupings of documentation for the product. Click on |
| one of the links to expand the navigation tree for that set of documentation. |
| Browse the tree and click on topics to display them.</p> |
| |
| <h2>Search</h2> |
| <p>If you want to find a particular piece of information in the online help, use |
| Search. The help system will search the entire information set, or only a part |
| of it, to find topics that meet the criteria you specify.</p> |
| |
| <h2>Context-sensitive help</h2> |
| |
| <p>If you are working through a task and encounter part of the interface that |
| you do not understand, use infopops. Bring focus to the interface widget in |
| question by clicking on it or using the Tab key, and then press F1. The infopop |
| will provide you with information about the interface and, if appropriate, links |
| to more information.</p> |
