Striking the HELP function key (f1) (or typing CTRL-j help or
CTRL-f 1) will display a frame of help text for an entire menu, a
single field on a form, or a command.
HELP for a menu describes the menu, each menu item, and the associated
tasks and sub-menus. It will inform you of tasks that should have been
completed prior to invoking the menu and will describe error
conditions that could occur.
HELP for forms provides details for the field your cursor is resting
on. It describes the input for the field and what the information is
used for.
In addition to having HELP on menus and form fields, you can receive
help on each FACE command on the Commands Menu. You can either press
the HELP function key with the cursor resting on a command in the
Commands Menu or you can type help [command name] on the command line.
Help for a command describes the function, syntax, and use of the
command. Also, you are instructed on how to complete any prompts that
are part of the command procedure.
When the active frame is a HELP frame, function key (F8) changes to
CONTENTS. When you press CONTENTS, a menu for the Overview of AT&T
FACE Contents will be displayed. Striking ENTER on any item in
the menu will provide tutorial-type information on the AT&T FACE
interface.
To close a HELP frame, press the CANCEL function key.
