Using the Help Menu
All SoftBench tools display "Help" as the last item in the menu bar.
Common online help menu commands include:
Tool Overview Gives you an overview of the tool and a list of
subtopics. In the main SoftBench window, this menu
command is "Help: Overview".
Show Man Page Displays the man page for the current tool.
On Item Displays a question mark cursor; move the cursor over
the portion of the screen for which you want help and
click the left mouse button.
Using Help… Provides assistance for using SoftBench Online Help.
Other help options are available on a tool by tool basis. For example, you
can access the SoftBench Welcome window, SoftBench Online Tutorial,
SoftBench copyright information, and language specific help from the
main SoftBench window. You can access help for the underlying DDE
debugger in SoftBench Debugger.
Accessing On Item Help
To view information about screen areas such as menu commands, input
boxes, or dialog boxes, move the mouse pointer over the item, then press
the Help key (F1).
If the system cannot find any help information for the screen area under
the pointer, a dialog box appears with the message:
A request to the help server failed.
The desired help is not available.
You can move the mouse pointer to a slightly different screen element
and press F1 again.
