If no match is found there, NetEx/eFT continues on to readthe next help file in the SEARCH list, in this case the (SITE) default help file.It may be desirable to store any site help files along with the NetEx/eFT default one, in the root directory.The (SITE) keyword allows for appending member names as shown below:eFT> set help search (SITE)myalias (SITE)This example instructs NetEx/eFT to first look for any help requests in the member MYALIAS in the (SITE)partitioned data set, followed by the NetEx/eFT default file EFTHELP from the same pds.
