help

 HELP or (?) Command File -- Gets help on a command.

 Parameters:
            Command -- Name of a command. If left blank then a one line
                       per command list is typed to screen. If wildcards
                       (*) are included, only those commands matching the
                       name will be listed. e.g. help *e* will list
                       all commands with an `e' in them. If no wildcards 
                       are used then a search is made for a file containing 
                       further information.

            File    -- A hidden parameter. If included, the help information
                       is written to a file of this name if it can be opened. 
                       Nothing is written to the standard output terminal 
                       unless something goes wrong. The help returns 
                       immediately. This is the best way to get hard copy
                       of the help files.

            As a special case if you specify CLASS as a command you will get
            a list of classes which can be used to select commands by loose
            purpose/action. Some commands crop up in more than one class.
            You can go straight to such a listing with HELP CLASS Classname
            where, for example, Classname = 'Input' will list commands to do
            with input.

This command belongs to the class: information
