Accessing the HELP Facility 

To use your HELP facility you must disable the system HELP facility and
assign your HELP file to CICAT.PUB.SYS. Create a UDC or User Command to
perform these functions easily.  To access your HELP facility with the
command HELPME, use the following UDC:

          HELPME PARM1=" " PARM2= " "
          FILE CICAT.PUB.SYS = MYHELP
          HELP !PARM1 !PARM2
          RESET CICAT.PUB.SYS

You can access the HELP in one of two modes:  subsystem or immediate.
Immediate mode gives you the information on the one or two keywords about
which you inquire (for example, HELPME keyword1 keyword2).  Keywords are
entry, item, or subitem names.  You enter the subsystem mode when you
call the facility without keywords (for example, HELPME). When in
subsystem mode, you enter ALL, EXIT, or a keyword at the greater than (>)
prompt.
