Displaying Catalog Help
You can display Catalog Help arguments for functions in two ways:
• Using an alpha/numeric function listing in the catalog (e.g, y N).
• Using the functions listed in certain menus (e.g, ).
Catalog Help lists the valid arguments for the function under the edit line. Arguments in brackets are
optional.
1. Display the menu that contains the function.
2. Use }
and/or † to move the cursor to the function.
3. Press
à to display arguments for the function. The cursor is on the function edit line.
Note:
• The catalog (y N) is displayed in alphabetical order. When you display the catalog, the
alpha-lock is turned on. Press the first letter of the function name to skip function names that come
before it alphabetically. Use }
and/or † to move the cursor to the function.
• Not all catalog functions have associated arguments. If the function does not require an argument,
Catalog Help displays the message “No arguments required for this item.”
