Help Facility (H) 

You can access the GlancePlus Help facility in three ways.  Enter the H
command character, press the  Help softkey, or enter a question mark (?).
A prompt will ask if you want to see a list of available commands, access
help specific to the current screen, or access general help.

If you request a list of commands or help specific to the current screen,
you will be returned to GlancePlus when you finish that topic and press
Return.

Select general help if you want to get help on more than one topic.  A
menu will be displayed, followed by a greater than (>) prompt.  Then, you
can enter any of the following:

   *   Any menu item.  For example, you can enter XPERT to find out about
       the GlancePlus Expert facility.

   *   A menu item and a key word.  For example, you can enter
       PROCESS,STATE to produce a listing of the codes that may appear in
       the process STATE bar.

   *   Menu to display the Help facility menu.

   *   Help to display the Help facility instructions.

   *   Exit or E to terminate the Help Facility.

If you access Help and the softkey feature of GlancePlus is enabled, a
base set of softkeys will be loaded.  These base keys will allow you to
move directly to Help menus for the four most popular screens, or to
access additional general Help commands.  You can access the following:

   *   F1   Global screen Help.

   *   F2   Job screen Help.

   *   F3   Session screen Help.

   *   F4   Process screen Help.

   *   F5   GlancePlus commands.

   *   F6   Main Help menu.

   *   F7   Help (on Help).

   *   F8   Exit Help and return to GlancePlus processing.

If you press Return while in the Help Menu, Help displays information up
to the next key word or command.  For example, after you enter SESSION,
Help displays the overall format of the Session screen and a list of key
words associated with it (CPU, DISC, TOTALS, PROCESS). If you press
Return, Help displays the CPU topic for Session.  If you press Return 
again (after the prompt), Help displays the Disc information for Session
and so on.  (This is similar to turning pages in a manual.)
