COMMAND NAME:

        HELP

        HELP is a file based information retrieval system for
        information concerning the usage of this application.

        HELP by itself offers you a popup menu of available commands
        in this release.  Selecting an entry will provide further
        information on the selected entry if available.

        HELP information may also be categorized by subjects.  If any
        information containing subjects which match the requested
        subject, it is offered on a popup menu for viewing.

        Finally HELP information may also be searched by pattern
        content although this is the slowest method.

        Any of the fields in angle brackets <> may contain the
        usual pattern matching notations: *, ?, [], [^].

EXAMPLES:

        This information can be displayed by the following commands:

        > HELP help
        provide information on the command "help"

        > HELP SUBJECT
        list out all available subjects

        > HELP SUBJECT help
        provide information on any topic referencing "help"
        select the topic on the "help" command


        > HELP APROPOS  help
        provide information on any topic containing the
        substring "help".  Select the topic on the "help" command

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

        The HELP files are stored in a /usr/valid/tools subdirectory.
        Each documented command has a file associated having a ".hlp"
        extension.  Other documents which are not directly related to
        a command also have the ".hlp" extension.

        In addition each document may have a list of subjects dealt
        within it, having a ".sub" extension.
