2.1 Guide Selection

The Guide Selection panel displays the list of document
categories and books within document categories.  Figures 2-1
and 2-2 show different examples of this panel:

o Figure 2-1 shows the Guide Selection list as it appears
  when you select Document Browse.  From this panel, you can
  select a specific guide and display its table of contents.
  You can also select a guide category if you want to see,
  for example, only the end-user guides listed.

o Figure 2-2 is an example of the resulting display after
  selecting guide category US from the initial list of
  categories.  To reset the display to list all guides and
  categories, use the Reset (R) primary command, or press the
  END key.

Instructions on using these panels follow the figures.

THE VOLUME FIELD - Volume ===>

The Volume field is used to enter the short name of a guide
or category.  This short name is provided in the Volume
column to the left of the Title column. If you specify a
category, like US, all the end-user guides are listed, as in
Figure 2-2.  If you specify one guide, like TDM, its table of
contents is listed.

To switch to a different category or guide, enter its name in
the Volume field.  To return to the complete list, blank out
the Volume field and press Enter.


OTHER DATA ENTRY FIELDS

The way in which the table of contents for a volume is
displayed depends on what you enter in the Section and
Levels fields.  These entries are described in Section 2.2,
Text Selection.  These fields need not be filled in on the
Guide Selection panel; they are provided so you can quickly
go to a specific point in the documentation.


LINE COMMANDS

Line commands are entered to the left of one or more rows of
the guide list.  The valid commands are:

   S (Select)
       Choose a guide or guide category for display.
       Equivalent to typing the selected guide name or
       category in the Volume field.

Only one line should be selected at a time.


PRIMARY COMMANDS - Command ===>

The command field is used to enter primary commands that
control the guide table listing or the selection of a guide
to browse.

   L (Locate)

       Scroll to the guide named.  Since the list is not
       alphabetic, only the exact name is searched for.

       Example:  Locate a guide by name

           L SMF (scroll to the SMF entry)

   M (bookMark)

       Switch the display to the contents of the current
       Bookmark List.

   R (Reset)

       Reset the guide category selection to display all
       guides.

   S (Select)

       Choose a guide or guide category for display.
       Equivalent to typing the selected guide name or
       category in the Volume field.

       Example:  Select a guide category

           S USER (list all USER Guides)

   SC (Subject Cross Reference)

       Search for phrases in the guides that contain
       specified keywords, or return to previous search
       result.

       Example:  Search for sections using key1 key2 key3

           SC key1 key2 key3

       Example:  Reshow last search text selection list

           SC LAST

       Example:   Go to Subject Cross Reference Keyword
       Selection

           SC

Other acceptable primary commands are the standard ISPF PF
keys and Command Table commands, like Up and Down.  If the
display list is too long to fit on one screen, these
scrolling commands allow you to move through the entire list.
