/PROMPT (default) /NOPROMPT Controls whether HELP initiates an interactive session once the initial HELP request has been processed. If you specify /NOPROMPT, HELP returns you to the DCL command level after displaying the requested information. If /PROMPT is in effect, one of four different prompts is displayed, requesting you to specify a particular HELP topic or subtopic. Each prompt represents a different level in the hierarchy of HELP information. The four prompt levels are: 1. Topic?---The root library is the main library and you are not currently examining HELP for a particular topic. 2. [library-spec] Topic?---The root library is a library other than the main library and you are not currently examining HELP for a particular topic. 3. [keyword] subtopic?---The root library is the main library and you are currently examining HELP for a particular topic (and/or subtopic). 4. A combination of 2 and 3. When you encounter one of these prompts, you can enter any one of the responses described below: Response Action in the Current Prompt Environment keyword[...] (1,2) Searches all enabled libraries for the keyword. (3,4) Searches additional HELP libraries for the current topic (and/or subtopic) for the keyword. @file-spec (1,2) Same as above, except that the library keyword[...] specified by @file-spec is now the rootlibrary. If the specified library does not exist, HELP treats @file-spec as a normal keyword. (3,4) Same as above, treats @file-spec as a normal keyword. ? (1,2) Displays a list of topics available in the root library. (3,4) Displays the list of subtopics of the current topic (and/or subtopics) for which HELP exists. <RET> (1) Exits from HELP. (2) Changes root library to main library. (3,4) Prompts for a topic or subtopic at the next higher level. <Ctrl/Z> (1,2,3,4) Exits from HELP.
