Examples
/h text {explain the Text command and show sub-keywords}
/h text,@ {tell all about Text. Comma is required}Quick Help - HQ
HQ looks for entries under the keyword Quick in the helpfile. Quick contains the text from the Qedit Quick Reference Guide, offering the experienced user a review of command syntax.
/hq visual {full-screen options}
/hq shortcuts {quick list of shortcuts}Notes
The help file must be on the system for the Help command to work. If the file is missing, Qedit still works fine, but you cannot get any on-line help. The default file name is /opt/robelle/help/qedit. Within the Help command, use "+" to see what levels exist "beneath" you and "?" for "help on Help". The help file is organized into levels: to go back to the previous level, press Return instead of entering a keyword. Press F8 to exit the QHELP subsystem completely and return to Qedit. Use the Prev Page (or Page Up) key on your terminal to review help already printed.
