Accessing the Help Page (F14)

The Help page is a terminal page set aside to provide user status and help information.

Its primary function is to serve as a quickly accessible reference page that you can use

without disturbing the display, operation, or contents of any of the user pages.

Several function keys access the Help page. F14 is the help key. It displays a list of

topics you can ask for further help with. For a brief summary of function key use, press

Next Page. To obtain further help on any of the topics listed (mostly commands from

the SeeView programming language), enter HELP topic (for example, HELP F1) on

the sill of the window displaying the help topics (where topic is the name of the item

you want more help with) and press Return.

F13 also uses the Help page is F13. F13 displays a status list of all tasks that are

running and some information about each one:

For a complete description of this display, see HELP STATUS. For each task, SeeView

displays the CPU, PIN, process name, and object file. The CachePg column shows

how many pages of cache are used and allocated for the task, and Timeout shows how

many seconds SeeView will wait for output from the task while processing a script.

The line with an asterisk (*) in the Taskid column gives information about the SeeView

program itself. The timeout value reported in this line is the total number of CPU

seconds that SeeView has used since being started.

Recovering a Terminal Display (SF14)

Another function key you might need to use occasionally is SF14, the recover key. If

the data displayed on your terminal becomes corrupted due to a terminal error (for

example, turning it off) or communications problems (modem errors), SF14 causes

SeeView to rebuild all the windows on all the terminal pages.

Interacting With Windows

The SeeView program allows you to create windows on various terminal pages.

Windows permit direct communication with either user-defined tasks or the SeeView
