Figure 3-1. Defined Help Area
If you are not satisfied with the help area, you can start over by
pressing the f5 (REFRESH FORM) key. The current help area is the only
one discarded. To see all help areas defined for the form, press the f6
(SHOW ALL AREAS) key.
The last step in defining a help area is to assign help area attributes.
The attributes are assigned by pressing f3 (HELP ATTR) and then
entering the help attributes in the spaces provided on the help
attributes form. The attributes are defined in the next section. If you
are not satisfied with the help area, you can start over by pressing the
f7 (ABANDON) key. The help area definition is not retained until the
help attributes are set by pressing the ENTER key. Once you press the
ENTER key, you are returned to the application form.
