Getting help

Since you are reading this, you obviously found one way of getting help with Figaro. There are different sorts of help you can get:

• Run-time help can tell you about a command parameter while the command runs and you are being prompted for the parameter value.
• On-line help in the narrow sense is information available via the `fighelp' (Unix shell) or `help' (ICL) commands. Little more than documentation for each command, and a classified list of commands is available.
• The printed documentation, Starlink User Note 86 (usually written SUN/86 for short), complements the on-line help, but does not include it. SUN/86 describes the package in general, but not the commands in detail.
• An extended, hypertext version of SUN/86, which includes all the text of the printed version and the documentation for all the individual Figaro commands, is available via the World Wide Web.
