The following example describes the help system

.

The 

 User EXEC mode command enables dumping all the output 

of a show command without prompting. To disable dumping, use the 

 form of this 

command. 

Dumping is disabled.

User EXEC mode

By default, a 

 prompt is displayed when the output contains more lines 

than can be displayed on the screen. Pressing the 

 key displays the next 

line; pressing the Spacebar displays the next screen of output. The datadump 
command enables dumping all output immediately after entering the show 
command.

This command is relevant only for the current session. 

This example dumps all output immediately after entering a show command.

Console# 

Help may be requested at any point in a command by entering a question 
mark '?'. If nothing matches the currently entered incomplete command, the 
help list is empty. This indicates that for a query at this point, there 
is no command matching the current input. If the request is within a 
command, enter backspace and erase the entered characters to a point where 
the request results in a display.
Help is provided when:
1. There is a valid command and a help request is made for entering a 
parameter or argument (e.g. 'show ?'). All possible parameters or 
arguments for the entered command are displayed.
2. An abbreviated argument is entered and a help request is made for 
arguments matching the input (e.g. 'show pr?').
