Welcome to the amazing AMOS Professional Help System. This contains full details of all 700+ AMOS commands. So if you get stuck, help will only be a keypress away!
You can use this system in a variety of ways. The easiest option is to simply position the Editor`s cursor over the first character of any command you are unsure of, and hit the Help key straight from the keyboard. The Help program will now load into memory, and you`ll be presented with a quick explanation of the command in a special `help window`.
If the information is longer than a single screen it can be scrolled through the window using either the Up/Down arrows from the keyboard, or via the arrow icons to the top right of the window. You can also drag the window through the text using the scroll bar along the right.
Along the top of the window there are four icons.
- The X icon closes the help window and returns you to your basic program.
- Prev.Page flicks back to the most recently displayed help screen.
- Main Menu presents you with a full list of the available help topics.
- Print makes a hardcopy of the current help screen onto a printer for future reference.
The individual help menus are formed using a series of buttons which can be selected using the Left Mouse key as you`d expect. Some buttons move you directly to the explanation of a particular command, whereas others present you with a complete menu in their own right. Here`s an example:
Help Example 1
Help Example 2
Help Example 3
Some of these menus have been permanently assigned to the main Help menu from the Editor window. These can be brought up by simply highlighting the menu item with the mouse.
Try selecting one of these buttons with the Left mouse key. See you there!
We`ll finish off this tutorial with a brief list of all the ways you can get help from AMOS Professional.
- Pressing the Help Key when you`ve positioned the cursor over an AMOS command
- Hitting F5 from the keyboard
- Selecting the `H` icon from the top of the Editor window.
- Selecting a menu item from the Help menu.
