Here are the ways you can request help:
Press f1—also known as the "help key"—to get context-sensitive
help.
Choose a command from an application's Help menu.
Open Help Manager to browse all the available help.
By default, online help is displayed with black text on a white
background. To change these colors, see “Changing the Help Topic Display Colors”.
To set up a help server, which is a computer on a network
that other systems can use to access online help files,
see Chapter 4 of the HP Visual User Environment 3.0 User's Guide.
Press f1, the "Help" Key. The quickest and easiest way to get help when you get stuck is to
press f1. When you press f1, the application you are using
displays the help topic most closely related to your current activity.
Some computers have a dedicated "Help" key on the keyboard. If yours
does, it may take the place of the f1 key.
Use the Help Menu. Most applications have a Help menu that contains additional commands for
requesting specific kinds of help—such as "Introduction," "Tasks," and
"Reference."
To learn more about using help windows, choose "Using Help" from the Help
menu in any HP VUE application. Or, you can press f1 while using a help
window.
Browse Help with Help Manager. The HP VUE Help Manager is a special help window that lists all of the
online help installed on your system. An online help volume is the
help associated with a specific application.
Choose the Help control in the Front Panel.
Scroll through the list of help titles and choose a title.
"Using Your HP Workstation"; contains the online help corresponding to Part I of
this guide. "HP Visual User Environment Version 3.0 Help" contains the online help corresponding to the
HP Visual User Environment 3.0 User's Guide, including HP VUE administration and configuration
tasks.
After choosing a title, another screen appears listing the volumes
of help available for that title. To open a volume, choose its
title.
Use the Help Subpanel. You can also use the Help Subpanel to access several kinds of help.
Choose the Help Subpanel control (the small arrow above the Help control
on the Front Panel). The Help Subpanel appears.
Choose any of the categories in the Help Subpanel:
- Top Level
Equivalent to choosing the Help control.
It opens a window with a list of help titles.
- Welcome
Displays a welcome message for your workstation.
- Man Page
Lets you type the name of a manual reference page (man
page) to view.
- On Front Panel
Displays a help window with information about using
the Front Panel.
- On Item
Changes the pointer to a question
mark. To get help on an item, drag this pointer to any of the
front panel controls, a
Workspace Manager dialog, or a subpanel control and click mouse
button 1. For example, to see help
for the Style Manager, drag the question mark to the Style Manager control
and click mouse button 1.
