Learning HP EDIT

The Main Help Menu 

The on-line help subsystem lets you choose the type of information you
need.  Three choices are listed on the Main Help menu for the type of
help you can receive:

   *   Commands by Topic

   *   Command Summary

   *   Command Description

A fourth type of help, Key Description, can be accessed from several
places within on-line help, including the Main Help menu.

The Commands by Topic selection allows you to get information on how to
perform a particular editing function, such as Scrolling.  Commands are
grouped under the function they perform.  This is particularly useful if
you want to perform a task but do not know the name of a command that
will perform that task.

The Command Summary presents a listing of HP EDIT commands and their
associated key assignments.  If you forget a key assignment, or you wish
to use the assigned key rather than a function key, this type of help can
be very useful.

The Command Description provides a concise description for every HP EDIT
command.
