Navigating Help Hierarchies

The help information is arranged hierarchically. The help system enables you to navigate the library by prompting when it has either presented a screen's worth of text or has completed displaying the previously requested help. The information displayed by the help system on a particular topic includes a description of the topic and a list of subtopics that further describe the topic.

You can select a new topic by entering its name or an unambiguous abbreviation. If you press the carriage-return key (<CR>) you will either continue reading a topic where there is further text to show, or move up one level in the hierarchy. Entering a CTRL/D (pressing D whilst holding the CTRL key) terminates the help session. See the description of KAPHELP for a full list of the options available at prompts inside the help system, and the rules for wildcarding and abbreviating topics.
