Using Catalogue Help

Displaying Catalogue Help

You can display Catalogue Help arguments for functions in two ways:

Using an alpha/numeric function listing in the Catalogue (e.g, y N).
Using the functions listed in certain menus (e.g, »).

Catalogue Help lists the valid arguments for the function under the edit line. Arguments in brackets are optional.

1. Display the menu that contains the function.
2. Use } and/or to move the cursor to the function.
3. Press à to display arguments for the function. The cursor is on the function edit line.

Note:

The catalogue (y N) is displayed in alphabetical order. When you display the catalogue, the alpha-lock is turned on. Press the first letter of the function name to skip function names that come before it alphabetically. Use } and/or to move the cursor to the function.
Not all catalogue functions have associated arguments. If the function does not require a argument, Catalogue Help displays the message “No arguments required for this item.”
