The help facility provides a list of the commands available at each functional level of SYSGEN. In addition, help provides the syntax of an individual command or the syntax of each command in the configurator or at the first-level menu.

To obtain a list of the first-level commands, enter HELP (abbreviated HE or H) at the SYSGEN prompt as shown in the following example.

   spu (sp)
           sysfile (sy)

           basegroup (ba)    keep (ke)      permyes (pe)
   show (sh)

           clear (cl)(c)     exit (ex)(e)   help (he)(h)
