1.4.2 Getting Started with the Online Facility

After you read this section, you will be able to start the
online facility and know how to use its menus, commands, and
help screens.  In addition, you will be able to customize the
online facility to better meet your needs.

The online facility contains extensive online tutorials (help
screens) that you can request at any point in an online
facility session.  These screens provide detailed information
about the operation you are specifying at the time you
request help.

When you leave the tutorials, the online facility returns you
to the place in your work session from which you requested
help.  Ask for help by typing HELP after the Command prompt
(or the Option prompt on some screens) at the top of the
screen.  Your PF1 key is usually set to do this for you.
When you request help in this manner, you are immediately
shown a tutorial that is relevant to the screen on which you
are working.  To leave a tutorial, type END after the Command
(or Option) prompt at the top of your screen.  Your PF3 key
is usually set to do this for you.
