Windows 95 Help
To use Windows 95 help, follow these steps:
1 Click Start, then click Help.
The Help window opens. The Contents tab lists help topics in
logical order. The Index tab lists topics in alphabetical order.
The Find tab lets you search for information using every word
that appears in the help text.
2 To use the index, click the Index tab.
Help displays the Index page.
The Index page of the Help window
Most of the window contains a list of topics. The upper part of
the window, where the pointer is flashing, lets you type in a
topic.
3 For example, if you want to draw a picture but don’t know
how you might type
picture
.
Notice as you type that the topic list adjusts to locate what you
typed. When you type the letter p, the topic list moves to the
first entry that begins with P, and so on.
There are a number of topics listed under Picture. One of them,
drawing, looks promising.
4 Next, you might double-click drawing.
