HELP Command

written to the home terminal.
If OUT filename is specified, Spoolcom writes the data to it in a manner suitable
for the file type, process, or device. The filename parameter must be specified;
if the file does not exist, Spoolcom creates an EDIT file (file type 101). The file can
be an EDIT file, unstructured file, relative file, entry-sequenced file, spooler job file,
process, or device.

to be displayed.
