23.2 Navigating Through the Microsoft Advisor

You request information about a topic in a window by moving the cursor to it and pressing F1 or by clicking it with the right mouse button. The Help system then searches through the Help files for information about the topic. If it finds the topic, the Help system displays information in the Help window. If Help cannot be found for a particular word or symbol, a message informs you that no information is associated with the topic.

Sometimes, a topic with the same name occurs in several Help files. When you request Help in PWB for one of these names, PWB displays a dialog box in which you can select the context of the topic. The Next command on the Help menu takes you to the next occurrence. When you are using QuickHelp, the first topic is displayed. You can then press E to go to the next occurrence.

Note:

CodeView does not use the right mouse button for Help in the Source window. Clicking the right button on a line in the Source window executes the program to that line. However, the right mouse button activates Help in the other CodeView windows.
