Errors
To receive information on a specific error, at the first-level Inspect HELP
prompt enter:
Error num

More Help ([Y]/N)? prompt
When you request help for a topic, Inspect displays information for the topic. If
the information exceeds 23 lines, Inspect displays the first 23 lines and then
prompts you:
More Help ([Y]/N)?
Enter Y or a carriage return to continue the display. Entering “N” will end the
current display and back you out of the current level of help.

Using Online HELP from within HELP
After displaying the information for a topic, Inspect prompts you for a subtopic,
if any exist for the given topic. You can then select a subtopic or press
RETURN to exit HELP and return to the Inspect prompt. You can exit HELP
and return to the Inspect prompt by pressing CTRL/Y at any help prompt.
When a list of topics is presented, you only need qualify the topic name with as
many characters needed to provide uniqueness. If the number of characters
does not uniquely qualify a topic, the first topic in the list that matches the
input will be chosen.

Using Online HELP from the Inspect command line
You will achieve better results if you completely spell out the topic and/or the
subtopic name. If, for example, you want help on INFO OPEN, do not type
“HELP I O”, you will receive help on INFO OBJECTFILE instead of INFO
OPEN. Similarly, “HELP C” will return help on the CLEAR command instead of
the C language, because Inspect interprets C as an abbreviation for the
CLEAR command.
