The HELP Command CP/M 3 User's Guide The HELP Command Syntax: HELP {topic}{subtopicl subtopic2 ... subtopic8}{[NO PAGEILIST]} HELP [EXTRACT] HELP[CREATE] Explanation: The HELP command is a transient utility that provides summarized information for all of the CP/M 3 commands described in this manual. In the distributed CP/M 3 system, HELP presents general information on a command as a topic and detailed information on a command as a subtopic. HELP with no command tall displays a list of all the available topics. HELP with a topic in the command tail displays information about that topic, followed by any available subtopics. HELP with a topic and a subtopic displays information about the specific subtopic. After HELP displays the information for your specified topic, it displays the special prompt HELP> on your screen. Subtopics can be accessed by preceding the subtopic with a period. The period causes the subtopic search to begin at the last known level. You can continue to specify topics for additional information, or simply press the RETURN key to return to the CP/M 3 system prompt. You can abbreviate the names of topics and subtopics. Usually one or two letters is enough to specifically identify the topics. Display Information Syntax: HELP topic {subtopicl ... subtopic8}{[NO PAGE!LIST]} HELP>.Subtopic Explanation: The preceding forms of the HELP command display the information for the specified topic and subtopics. Use the following two options with this form of the HELP command: o The NOPAGE option disables the default paged display of every n lines, where n is the number of lines per page as set by the system or as set by the user. To stop the display, press CTRL-S. To resume the display, press CTRL-Q. You can abbreviate NOPAGE to N. (See the DEVICE command for more information about setting the number of lines per page.) 5-47

Use this option with CTRL-P to list the help information on the printer. Examples: A>HELP The preceding command displays a list of topics for which help is avaiable. A>HELP DATE This command displays general information about the DATE command. It also displays any available subtopics. A>HELP DIR OPTIONS [N] The preceding command includes the subtopic options.
