DECW$DXMHELP_HELP.HLB  —  Glossary
  This is a glossary of DECwindows Help terms. It is not
  a general DECwindows glossary.

  Choose the term you want from the list of additional
  topics below.

1  –  Go back

  The Go Back button and the Go Back item on the View
  menu display the previous help topic.

  Every time you perform a Visit Topic operation or a Go
  To Topic operation, the topic title is recorded in a
  history list. The Go Back operation uses this history
  list to display each previous topic as you request it.

2  –  Go to

  A Go To operation displays the selected topic in the
  current Help window, replacing the information about
  the previous topic.

  The Go To Topic item appears on the Help window View
  menu.

  Contrast Go To with Visit, in which the current window
  remains open and an additional window is opened to
  display the requested new topic.

3  –  history

  Every time you perform a Go To or Visit To operation on
  a help topic, the topic title is recorded in a history
  list.

  The Go Back button and the Go Back item of the View
  menu use this history list to display each previous
  topic as you request it.

  You can also access the history list through the
  History... item of the Search menu. The History... item
  lets you return quickly to a topic that is far back in
  the history list.

4  –  keyword

  A keyword is a subject that is associated with one or
  more help topics. A help topic can have one or more
  keywords associated with it.

  You can use the Keyword... menu item of the Search menu
  to see the list of keywords and to see topics that have
  a specific keyword associated with them.

5  –  topic

  A topic is a basic unit of help information. If a topic
  is longer than the help text area, you can use the
  scroll bar to view the rest of the topic.

6  –  Visit

  A Visit operation displays the selected topic in a
  separate help window.

  The Visit Topic item appears on the Help window View
  menu.

  Contrast with Go To, in which the selected topic is
  displayed in the current Help window, replacing the
  current topic.
