Chapter 6 Getting Information

The Graphical Development Environment uses Windows help to view information in an online reference. You can get help on the Development Environment itself and on the programming language and libraries you're using.

The online reference organizes help topics into categories, such as Projects or Debugging. You can see a display of the categories on the Contents screen. In the online reference, the Contents screen is the highest level of organization.

The online reference operates much like help for most Windows applications. This chapter discusses the features that are unique to the online reference. You should be familiar with using Windows help as described in Chapter 2 of the Microsoft Windows User's Guide, “Basic Skills.”
