Highlight Asking for Help
You can get help from TEDIT about any function that you see named on the
function key template, such as *C or CANCEL. You can also get help on
functions and topics that are not shown on the template; for example, you
can ask for help on COMMANDS or STATUSLINE. Follow these steps to
get help from TEDIT:
1. Press the key labeled HELP. At the bottom of the screen, on the status
line, TEDIT displays the message shown in the following example. The
message means that TEDIT is getting the online help ready to display
whatever help you request.
1) Wait. Initializing HELP C00
As soon as the help is ready (it usually takes just a few seconds), TEDIT
displays the following highlighted line at the top of the screen:
Topic:
2. Type the name of any function or topic on the highlighted line after the
“Topic:” prompt.
3. Then press the HELP key again to get information on the function you
specified.
If you do not want to type a topic now, simply press the CANCEL key. The
online help is discussed in more detail in Section 3.
Note You can use the online help to learn how to use TEDIT. Simply type TEDIT at your
command interpreter instead of typing TEDIT followed by a file name. When TEDIT starts
up, it tells you what to do next.
