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: FSHELP ( REBUILD PF-Keys ------- Browsing through the help information, navigating to other topics and leaving FSHELP is typically controlled with the PF-keys.
