FSHELP (MECAFF) CMS User Area command
FSVIEW is a MECAFF-based for standard CMS HELP topics.
+----------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
| FSHELP | [ topic ] |
| | ( REBUILD |
+----------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
The fullscreen display of a standard HELP topic is invoked from CMS with
FSHELP topic
This looks for a file topic HELPxxx on all accessed disks (with xxx one of
CMD, DBG, EE, EDT, EXC or REX) and displays it.
If the additional help file exists (topic HELPxxx2 on the same disk), it is
appended to the displayed content.
FSHELP allows to navigate to other help topics either with the subcommand
Help topic
or by placing the cursor in a word of the displayed help text and pressing the
PF01 key.
The topics opened are stacked in a last-in-first-out manner: closing the
current topic with PF03 displays the previous one and so on until closing the
first (initial) topic terminates FSHELP, returning to the CMS prompt.
When invoked without a topic, FSHELP looks for a file MENU FSHELP on all
accessed disks and displays this file as top level menu. If this file is not
found, the help menu is build based on the help files on all accessed disks
(with filetype HELPxxx, see above), grouping the topics by the command types
CMS, CP, EE, EDIT, DEBUG, EXEC. This help file is automatically saved in the
file MENU FSHELP A2. If necessary (for example to include new help topics),
this menu help file can be regenerated on disk A by invoking FSHELP with only
the option REBUILD:
