The Info System

The info system calls excerpts from the User's Ma-
nual to the screen. The system is structured in info
topics
comparable to the chapters of a book. In the
top line of the information window, the topic you
selected and the page number are shown.

The info system gives you information on the current
operating situation (context-sensitive help). Also, you
can select the info topics through the table of
contents or the subject index. Simply select the
desired topic or word and click ”Topic select” (or
Enter).

Cross references in the text are highlighted. Place
the cursor on the desired cross reference and call the
topic with ”Topic select.” ”Topic return” switches
back to the previous topic.

Error display
When an error message occurs, press the info key, or
place the cursor on the error message in the ”display
of errors” and then press the info key, to get further
information on the respective error.
