Using On-Line Help
On-line help is available throughout the HP ALLBASE/4GL administrator.
To use the on-line help, simply press the Help function key. HP
ALLBASE/4GL then displays the appropriate help screen.
HP ALLBASE/4GL help screens are associated with each field on data input
screens. There are also general help screens for each data screen, and
for each menu.
In many cases, the help screens have more than one "page". You can step
forwards or backwards through the help screens with the function keys on
the help screens.
