Getting Help 

When you need help with the format of a debugger command or can't
remember which command performs a particular function, use the h (help)
command as follows:

     >h

Help text is displayed one window at a time when the more feature is
activated.  You can use the terminal keys PgUp, PgDn, Home, End and the
CTRLarrow keys (or the equivalent scroll keys on your terminal) to scroll
the command window.  The debugger displays enough lines to fill the
command window then displays --More--at the bottom.

Use one of the following commands to continue.

SPACE BAR             Displays one more window-full.

RETURN                Displays one more line.

q                     Quits scrolling and ignores the rest of the help
                      information until another debugger prompt is
                      issued.

If the more feature is suspended, help text is displayed in a continuous
stream.  To temporarily suspend scrolling, press CNTLS. To resume the
display, press CNTLQ.


NOTE You can activate and suspend the more feature with the am (activate more) and sm (suspend more) commands. For more information, see the listings for these commands in chapter 4 "HP Symbolic Debugger Commands".
