PWB uses the Microsoft Advisor online reference system to provide information about PWB, the assembler, the linker, the CodeView debugger, other utilities, and topics relating to the MASM language. Information can be displayed at any time and at any point in PWB or CodeView. For a complete discussion of the online reference system, see Chapter 4.
To get information about a PWB menu command, choose the command with the ARROW keys, then press F1; or point the mouse cursor at the menu command and click the right mouse button. A help window appears with information about the command.
Many dialog boxes have a help button that provides additional information about the dialog box and its contents. To display the information, click the help button with the mouse or press F1.
The commands in the Help menu can display a table of contents, an index of all help topics, and help on using the online reference system itself.
The Contents command displays the contents of the entire reference system. Information is organized by topic, such as PWB, CodeView, the MASM language, and specific utilities. Click a topic to move to that topic's table of contents.
The Index command displays every available item in the reference system, organized alphabetically. Select the first letter of the topic you want from the alphabet bar at the top of the screen. Then select the specific topic from the list that appears. Use PGUP, PGDN, and the ARROW keys to scroll through the topics.
The Help on Help command provides a brief overview of how to navigate through the help system and invoke help on any topic.
