SUMMARY
o Interactive -- enter HELP at the system prompt. Then enter
COMMANDNAME[,[KEYWORD]]. Exit by entering E or EXIT.
o Direct Access -- enter HELP COMMANDNAME[,[KEYWORD]] at the system
prompt. Help exits after displaying (and scrolling) the portion
that you specified.
o This SUMMARY contains seven special topics:
FUNCTION summary of Help function
NM commands that operate in Native Mode.
CM commands that have been enchanced for MPE/iX.
UNSUPPORTED commands that are NOT SUPPORTED in MPE/iX.
UNCHANGED commands that retain their function from MPE V/E.
XLSYNTAX discusses SYNTAX FLEXIBILITY with the NM commands.

Native Mode Commands
These commands operate in Native Mode in the MPE/iX operating system.
In the Help Facility, they are denoted by the notation (NM).

Compatibility Mode Commands
The following commands were part of the MPE V/E operating system.
Their functionality has been enhanced in the MPE/iX operating system.
In the Help Facility, they are denoted by the notation (CM).
Altacct Listf Purgeuser Startsess
Altgroup Listftemp Redo Store
Altuser Listgroup Report
Data Listuser Restore
Debug =Logoff Run
Else Newacct Set
Hello Newgroup Setcatalog
Help Newuser Setdump
If Purgeacct Showcatalog
Listacct Purgegroup Speed
HP system variables are listed under the entry HPVARS and VARIABLES.

Unchanged Commands
These commands function as they did in the MPE V/E operating system.
In the Help Facility, they have neither the (CM) or the (NM) notation.

These commands are not supported in MPE/iX. Almost all of them are
concerned with optimizing the performance of the system. These
optimizing functions now reside in the background of the MPE/iX system.

SYNTAX RULE:
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
::::::::::::::::: The old MPE-V/E syntax (shown in ::::::::::::::::::
::::::::::::::::: the syntax diagrams) always works ::::::::::::::::::
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The MPE-V/E syntax conventions are maintained
throughout the Help Facility for consistency. You
may use the MPE-V/E syntax convention for and
command: NM, CM, or UNCHANGED.
But you may use the more flexible syntax for any NM
command except SETVAR. Suppose that the NM
CMDNAME command has the following syntax:
:CMDNAME KEYWORD1 = value1; KEYWORD2 = value2;... KEYWORDn = valueN
Because it is a NM command, you may choose how you
enter the command at the keyboard or in a job stream.
For the NM command CMDNAME, the following forms of
entry are valid:
:CMDNAME KEYWORD1 = a; KEYWORD2 = b... ;KEYWORDn = n
:CMDNAME a, b,... ,n
:CMDNAME a, b; KEYWORD7 = g; KEYWORD4 = d ;KEYWORD3 = c
The order relationship between parameters is still important: positional
parameters must come before keyword parameters, as they did in MPE-V/E.
This is true for all commands, NM, CM, or UNCHANGED. Because this order
relationship is enforced, the following attempt to enter positional
parameters after a keyword parameter will produce an error:
:CMDNAME a, b;KEYWORD7 = g, h
Introducing a keyword variable (delimited with a semi-colon)
terminates positional assignment. The positional "h" produces an error.
The online documentation for the EXIT command causes a problem.
The word "EXIT" is reserved in the Help facility.
As a result, attempting to access the EXIT text from within the
Help Facility ">EXIT" fails. You may call up the EOJ
command ">EOJ and then use to "page" forward
to the EXIT command text.
* OR *
You may invoke the Help Facility and the text for EXIT at the
system prompt this way -- "HELP EXIT ".
This "direct" access to the Help Facility gives you the text
specified and then returns to you to the system prompt.
