ADDED JUNE 01, 2002:
In the foreign language versions, the topic "An Overview of the
Help File's Interface" should have the following description of
the "Locate" button added to its list of other buttons and options.
Locate - This button synchronizes the topic you're currently viewing
in the main display with the expandable and collapsible view of
the topics in the Contents tab, essentially locating the topic
in the Contents tab. This is usually done automatically.

ADDED AUGUST 10, 2002:
For the English printed and foreign language versions,
a new topic was added to this chapter:
==Getting Help by Pressing the F1 Function Key==
You can press the F1 function key at any
time to bring up the online Help. You can also use the F1
function key in different contexts to find specific topics
more quickly:
- Dialog Boxes: Access
a dialog box. Press F1 while it's still open and PC-DMIS
displays the Help topic associated with that dialog box.
- Toolbar Icons: Hover your mouse over a toolbar icon until the tooltip
appears. Press F1. PC-DMIS displays the Help topic that
discusses that icon.
- Menu Items: Hover your mouse over a menu item (not over a menu heading)
on the menu bar. Press F1. PC-DMIS displays the Help topic
associated with that menu option.
- Commands: Access the
Edit window. Place it into Command Mode. Click on a command
and press F1. PC-DMIS displays the Help topic associated
with that command.
ADDED AUGUST 15, 2002:
For the foreign language versions, the Online Help that was eventually
distributed was the Windows 95/NT Help type (help with a .hlp extension).
The "Using the Online Help" chapter however was
originally written for those who would have the HTML Help version
installed (help with a .chm extension). Because of this, foreign language
users should ignore these topics:
-
"An Overview of the Help File's Interface"
-
"Searching the Help Using Natural Language
Queries"
-
"Storing Favorite Help Topics"
-
"Changing Help File Options"
For specific information about using the standard
Windows 95/NT WinHelp online Help platform, consult your Operating
System's Help file.
