  Figure 1-2.  Document Access Tutorial

Document Access provides an online tutorial, which you can
start by selecting option T from the Document Access menu.
This tutorial is a brief description of each dialog option,
including the available commands and their functions.  New
users may want to go through the tutorial before using
Document Access.

The initial tutorial panel appears as shown in Figure 1-2.

Help panels are also provided from each dialog.  If, for
example, you are working in Document Browse and need
information about what commands can be used, the HELP command
or key will bring up a tutorial panel about Document Browse.

Note: If you make an error, such as using an unknown command,
Document Access will issue a short message.  More information
can then be obtained by using the HELP command or key, which
displays a longer message.  If you need more help, a second
HELP command will place you at an appropriate place in the
tutorial.
The tutorial and help panels operate under the standard ISPF
Help facility.  All of the standard commands are available.
These include Up, Down, Forward, Backward, End and so on,
as documented in the ISPF Help facilities.
