The following information is about Help.
Help Defined
1. The capability of many application programs to display advice or instructions for using their features when so requested by the user, as by a screen button or menu item or a function key. The user can access help without interrupting work in progress or leafing through a manual. Some help facilities are context-sensitive, meaning that the user receives information specific to the task or command being attempted. Although help facilities are not usually as extensive as manuals, they give the user a means of refreshing the memory and may also offer the more advanced user quick access to details on little-used program features. Also called online help. 2. In many applications, a command that displays an explanation of another command that follows it. For instance, in many FTP programs, the command help can be followed by other commands, such as cd (change directory) or ls (list files and directories), to discover the purpose of these other commands.An item on a menu bar in a graphical user interface that enables the user to access the help feature of the present application. See also graphical user interface, help (definition 1), menu bar.
