Context-sensitive help is available
if you are using the character version of any
SCOadmin configuration manager tool:
Press <F1> to get help on the current screen.
Press <F2> to find out how to move around in the SCOadmin character and
help environment.
Use the <Tab> and arrow keys to select Help from your
Help menu, then press <Enter>.
If the information you need is not on the current screen
when the Help window opens,
use the <PgDn> or <PgUp> key
to scroll through the document.
To view topics related to the current one,
use the <Tab> and arrow keys to select
Related Topics at the bottom of your screen.
Press <Enter>.
Each item in the Related Topics window is a hyperlink
to another topic.
To open a related topic,
use the <Tab> key to move the
cursor to the View Topics window. Use your arrow
keys to move the cursor over the
desired topic, then press <Enter>.
To close the help window,
use your <Tab> key to move your cursor to
Close Window, then press <Enter>. Your cursor
returns to
the current
SCOadmin or configuration manager tool.
Troubleshooting character-based help
You should note the following in the character environment:
If you do not install the X clients package, most of the
help on scohelp is not available. If you need
information about how to use character-based
scohelp, press <F2> in any character-based
SCOadmin manager.
<Esc> does not close character-based scohelp screens.
You must use Cancel to cancel.
Warning messages can overwrite or garble your help screen.
If your character-based screen is garbled or has random characters,
press <Ctrl>R.
Some special symbols characters do not display
correctly in character environments.
For example, if a file contains the symbol for the Greek letter
Π, will be spelled out as ``Pi''.
