How to use the DarkStar/EPIC4 help system DarkStar uses EPIC4's builtin /HELP command to browse its documentation and thus tries to imitate it as closely as possible. If you are unfamiliar with the use of /HELP please see help(1) in the EPIC Help Files. If you do not have these, they can be obtained from the following sites: ftp://ftp.epicsol.org/pub/epic/EPIC4-PRODUCTION/ http://www.got.net/~brian/epic4/ The help files for DarkStar are organized into the following groups: Section 1: Core Commands Section 2: Core Functions Section 3: Modules In order to read a help file its section number must be given. This is true except when you are already at the help prompt and in the proper section. You can go back a section while at the help prompt by simply pressing the ENTER key. Throughout this documentation topics in the "See Also" sections will include a UNIX man page style section reference. Topics viewed via /HELP will appear like normal: whois(2) Topics viewed via /DHELP will appear as: ds:dset(1) Examples: > /dhelp 1 dset 1_core_commands Help? dset See Also: Introduction(7); New_User(7); help(1)
