Click a page icon or text entry in the left windowpane to display the corresponding help topic in the right windowpane.

Help Toolbar Buttons

The help toolbar is a row of buttons that permit access to the various components of the help system: Contents, Index, Search, Glossary, Print, and Procedures. The Help toolbar is located inside the browser window and above the left and right windowpanes. The Contents button displays the help file contents in a nested book/page format in the left windowpane. The Index button displays a alphabetized list of terms linked to help related topics.

The Print button prints out the topic currently displayed in the right windowpane. The Procedures button displays the List of Procedures topic containing an alphabetized linked list of procedures.

Browse Buttons

The Browse buttons (left/right arrows), located between the Contents button and the left windowpane, allow you to browse sequentially forward or backward through the pages of a book in their pre-determined order.
