This command has the following format:

     [command  ]
     [function ]

     [COMMAND  ]
     [FUNCTION ]
     [HELP     ]

     [SAMPLE   ]
     [SCROLL   ]

HELP without operands describes the current panel or fill‑in. Press the PF2 (RETURN) key to return to the original activity.

When you specify an operand on the HELP command, a HELP member displays. The HELP session allows use of editor commands such as POSITION, FIND, and SCROLL.
