In response, the HELP utility displays a list of topics for which summaries are
available. After HELP lists the topics available, it displays its own prompt:
HELP>
To this prompt, you can enter one of the topics presented in the list, for example,
HELP>SHOW
After displaying a summary of the SHOW command, HELP lists subtopics that detail
different aspects of the SHOW command. To display the information on a subtopic
when you have just finished reading the main topic, enter the name of the subtopic
preceded by a period,
HELP >. OPTIONS
In the preceding example, HELP then displays the options available for the SHOW
command. As you become familiar with HELP, you might want to call a HELP
subtopic directly from the system prompt as follows:
A>HELP SHOW OPTIONS
HELP lets you learn the basic CP/M 3 commands quickly. You might find that
you reference the command summary in Section 5 only when you need details not
ded in the HELP summaries. When you add new utilities, you can modify HELP
provi I
to add or subtract topics, or even modify the summaries HELP presents. See the
