1  HELP
   Displays information about LSE and SCA commands. In response to
   the Topic? prompt, you can also display such information as:

   o  New features in the update ("New_Features")

   o  Brief command descriptions with SCA commands noted ("Commands")

   o  Directions and suggestions for new users ("New_Users")

   o  Tutorial information about the use of many LSE features
      ("Features")

   o  Information about SCA topics ("SCA_Topics")


   Format

     HELP   [topic-list]


   You can switch to the LSE portable command language by 
   using the SET COMMAND LANGUAGE PORTABLE command.  You can
   then request help on the portable command language.  You
   can return to the CLI-based parser by entering the command
   SET COMMAND LANGUAGE VMS.

2  Qualifiers

/INDICATED

      /INDICATED

   Causes LSE to display the help text associated with the token,
   placeholder, or routine at the current cursor position. If
   you do not specify or negate the /LANGUAGE qualifier or the
   /PACKAGE qualifier, LSE first looks for a language element. If
   the indicated item is not a language element, then LSE looks for a
   package element.

   The help text comes from the HELP library associated with the
   specified language or package. LSE forms a topic string by
   concatenating the /TOPIC_STRING qualifier associated with the
   language or package followed by the indicated token, placeholder,
   or entry name. LSE then searches for the topic in the HELP
   library.

   You cannot use the /INDICATED qualifier with any of the following
   qualifiers: /KEYPAD, /LANGUAGE, /LIBRARY, or /PACKAGE.

/KEYPAD

      /KEYPAD

   Specifies that you want keypad HELP. You cannot use the /KEYPAD
   qualifier with any of the following qualifiers: /INDICATED,
   /LANGUAGE, /LIBRARY, or /PACKAGE.

   The /KEYPAD qualifier builds the keypad diagram by using legends
   specified with the /LEGEND qualifier on the DEFINE KEY command.
   When the diagram is displayed and you press a key, LSE looks up
   the topic specified for that key by using the /TOPIC qualifier on
   the DEFINE KEY command, and displays the corresponding help text.
   The HELP library accessed is LSE$KEYPAD.HLB.

/LANGUAGE

      /LANGUAGE=language-name

   Causes LSE to take the value of the /TOPIC_STRING qualifier for
   the indicated language and concatenate that value to the front of
   the topic-list parameter on the HELP command. If you specify the
   /LANGUAGE qualifier without a value, then LSE uses the language
   associated with the current buffer. (In this case, not having the
   current buffer associated with a language creates an error.)

   You must not specify either the /KEYPAD qualifier or the /PACKAGE
   qualifier with the /LANGUAGE qualifier.

/LIBRARY

      /LIBRARY=library-name

   Specifies which HELP library LSE searches for the topic. This
   qualifier overrides the library file determined by LSE's default
   behavior. You may specify any other qualifiers with the /LIBRARY
   qualifier, except for the /KEYPAD qualifier.

/PACKAGE

      /PACKAGE=package-name

   Causes LSE to take the value of the /TOPIC_STRING qualifier for
   the indicated package and concatenate that value to the front of
   the topic-list parameter on the HELP command. You must provide the
   package name as the value of the qualifier.

   You must not specify either the /KEYPAD or the /LANGUAGE qualifier
   with the /PACKAGE qualifier.

2  Parameter

topic-list
   Indicates the topic for which you want help. This may be any list
   of topics valid for input to the DCL command interpreter's HELP
   command. The topic list must not be specified with the /INDICATED
   qualifier.
