HELP

893-386-B

3-13

The HELP command displays online information about the commands and keywords
you specify.  This information includes a description of the command and a summary
of command options.

The terminal server displays information about terminal server commands according to
the privilege level of the port.  If the port is Secure, for example, the terminal server
displays only the commands that a Secure port accepts.

Terminal servers with limited memory display the command syntax only.  All other
terminal servers display the syntax and other information about the command.

For security reasons, the network manager may disable the HELP command on the
terminal server, so it may not be available for use at your port.
