  The EH Display Window:

    Full Screen or Half Screen Display Mode.
    You can switch between full or half screen display modes by pressing the
    F9 function key.

    With autolookup on and the Expert Help display window in half-screen
    mode, the display window will always pop-up away from the cursor,
    so that you see what you are working on. If the cursor is in the top
    half of your screen, the display window will pop-up in the bottom
    half. If the cursor is in the bottom half the display window will
    pop-up in the top half.

    Moving the Display Window.
    You can move the display window up and down on your screen. To do so,
    hold down the SHIFT KEY and press either the UP or DOWN ARROW KEYS
    to reposition the window. The display window will remain in this new
    position (with Auto-Lookup OFF) until you relocate it or uninstall the
    Engine from memory. If Auto Lookup is on, the display window will
    (when popped-up) be positioned away from the lookup word.

                      to the entry below it. This expanded entry can be

                      used. If a Long Entry has no Related Topics, you will
                      not see a  Related Topics  menu highlight in the
                      upper left corner of the Long Entry Display Window.

                      the numeric cursor pad (usually on the right side of

    F3
    ALT-S             Prompts for a search keyword and invokes the 
                      the search routine. By pressing <ENTER> you will 
                      restrict the search to the current Short Topic List 
                      or current Long Entry Text. By pressing <F2>, the 
                      entire file will be searched beginning at the first 
                      menu/item and continuing through the file until 
                      finished. The order of the search is KeyWord -> 
                      Short Topic Lists -> Long Entry Text. The search 
                      can be aborted at any time by pressing the <ESC> key.
                      
                      If the search is successful, the menu highlight will
                      be positioned on top of the line that contains the
                      keyword match.
                      
                      If the search fails, you will hear a short beep and
                      the message  Not Found  will appear in the lower 
                      right corner of the display window.

    ALT-N             Continues the search for the next match.
                      Searches for the next match that was defined in the
                      search window or by the auto-lookup routine
                      when EH was popped-up. 


    F5
    ALT-I             Leaves an image of the display window on the
                      screen and returns you to your work.
                      The image is cleared from the screen when the program
                      you are using repaints the screen (usually an <ENTER>
                      key press will cause a screen repaint.)


    F2
    ALT-D             Opens the file selection menu. Press <ENTER> to
                      select a Help File, <Alt R> to rescan the file list or 
                      <ESC> to close the menu without selecting a new file.


    F7
    ALT-C             Activates the Mark and Paste feature.
                      The Mark and Paste feature lets you paste text
                      into your program (usually an editor or word
                      processor). Once you have activated the Mark and
                      Paste routine, use the cursor pad (arrow keys, etc.)
                      to highlite a block of text. When finished press
                      <ENTER>. Expert Help will pop-down and the text
                      block will be written into your editor.


    F8
    ALT-P             Activates the Mark and Save Text feature.
                      The Mark and Save Text feature lets you highlite a 
                      block of text and send it to a file or printer. You 
                      can append or overwrite text that is sent to a file.
                      
                      Once you have activated the Mark and Save Text routine, 
                      use the cursor pad (arrow keys, etc.) to highlite 
                      a block of text. When finished press ENTER, a window 
                      will display a prompt, requesting the filename that 
                      you would like to write the text to. The default is 
                      to send the text to your printer. Once the file has 
                      been selected, a status window will display the 
                      progress of your request and prompt you for any 
                      actions that may be required.
                      

    F6
    ALT-L             Toggles the Auto-Lookup feature On/Off.
                      When ON, the auto-lookup routine will launch a 
                      search based on the keyword that was read (from
                      the cursor location) at the time Expert Help was 
                      popped-up. The search will continue throughout the 
                      entire file. The search starts at menu 1/item 1
                      and is done in the following order; KeyWord -> Short
                      Topic Lists -> Long Entry Text. 
                      
                      If a match is found, the highlite bar will be 
                      positioned over the line. If no match was found, 
                      Expert Help will sound a beep and display a 
                      Not Found message in the lower right corner of the 
                      screen. Also if the screen is in half-screen mode and 
                      the Auto-Lookup feature is turned ON the window will 
                      position itself away from the search word (when 
                      EH is popped-up).
