HELPDisplays the usage and syntax of OS-9 commands.HELPNotes
To use HELP, first copy Cmds.hp from the SYS directory of the CONFIG/BOOT
Diskette to the SYS directory of your system diskette. Next, copy HELP
from the CMDS directory of the CONFIG/BOOT Diskette to the CMDS directory
of your system diskette as follows:
Procedure for one disk drive:
1. With OS-9 booted and the system diskette in your drive, type:
LOAD COPY [ENTER]
2. Replace the system diskete with the CONFIG/BOOT Diskette and type:
COPY /D0/SYS/CMDS.HP /D0/SYS/CMDS.HP -S #30K [ENTER]
3. Exchange the two diskettes as requested by the screen prompts until the
process is complete.
4. Again, place the CONFIG/BOOT DIskette int he drive, and type:
COPY /D0/CMDS/help /D0/CMDS/help -S #30K [ENTER]
5. Swap diskettes as requested until the process is complete.
Procedure for two disk drives
1. With OS-9 booted, place the CONFIG/BOOT Diskette in Drive 1. Be sure
the system diskette is in Drive 0.
2. Type:
COPY /D1/SYS/CMDS.HP /D0/SYS/CMDS.HP [ENTER]
3. When the first copy is complete, type:
COPY /D1/CMDS/help /D0/CMDS/help [ENTER]
Cmds.hp is a data file, not a text file, and you cannot successfully display
it on your screen or edit it with a standard text editor. It contains help
for standard OS-9 commands.
HELP displays the form and syntax of the specified command. If you use a
non-standard command name, a screen display tells you that help is not
available for that command.
Examples:
HELP BACKUP [ENTER]
BACKUP [e][s][-v][dev][dev]
Copies all data from one device to another
HELP ME [ENTER]
ME Help not available
HELP [ENTER]
HELP [command name][...]
