Help Utility
The Help feature is a quick and easy way to find answers to questions about any
Encore function, feature, hard key, or soft key. The information available on-
line in the Help feature is basically the same information that is found in the
Reference Section of this manual. The Help feature is meant to provide you
with a quick answer to a question, along with an example of a command. If
you can’t find the answer to your question in the Help feature, please consult
the User’s Guide.
A Master Help Disk either came originally with your console, or came with a
software upgrade for version 3.05 (or later). The Help information is stored in
a Help file named “ENCORE.HLP” on the Master Help Disk. In order for the
Help feature to function, a disk containing the Help file must be in the disk
drive. You can place the Master Help Disk in the disk drive when you want to
use the Help feature, or you can copy the Help file to other high-density
1.44MB disks that you use for show storage, using any IBM-compatible
computer.

:
Copy the Help file to your show storage disks before you start
working on your show. This will allow you to avoid the need to change disks
between a Help disk and a show storage disk while you are working.
There are different methods for using the Help feature. It was designed with
these different methods so that you are likely to get the correct information by
trying what you think will work (and it probably will):
??
You can press the [HELP] key anytime that you have a keystroke entered
on the command line in order to see information about that key’s function.
This will display the topic for the last keystroke entered on the command line
that has a topic.
??
If you press the [HELP] key while the command line is empty, you will see
the Main Topic Menu. Use the “arrow” keys to select a topic for viewing, and
press [ENTER] to see the information under that topic. Note that all the
different soft key topics are located in a sub-menu under the topic called “Soft
Keys”.
??
Anytime the Main Topic Menu is displayed, you can press any key, hard or
soft, to see the topic for that key.
