Help window: Help texts for input fields and Help texts for compiler error messages
Press function key <F7> "Info" (if available in the function key menu) for Help texts on COM 265
input fields. A Help window is displayed which provides information on possible and permissible
entries in the field at which the cursor is currently positioned.
In contrast to the Help forms for function key menus described above, a Help window for an input
field or compiler error message overlays only part of the current screen contents. The input field
remains visible.
Only one Help window may be open at any given time.
The Help window must be closed before making an entry in the input field or positioning the cursor
to the next input field.
Press <ESC> to close a Help window.
