If currently in the ladder editor or monitor program function, the help text
displayed is for the currently cursored (or edited) instruction.

If currently in the system status file data table monitor function, the help text
displayed is for the currently cursored address.

If none of the above conditions exist, then the beginning of the help text file is
displayed.

instruction mnemonic or a system status file address. See the example that follows.
