    HELP           Displays the list of topics.  To scroll through the
                   list, press NEXT SCREEN and PREV SCREEN.  To get help on
                   a topic, type the name of the topic and press RETURN.

    HELP FIND      Displays help on the FIND command.

    HELP KEYPAD    Same as pressing the HELP key:  Draws a keypad diagram,
                   showing the mini keypad, numeric keypad, or both,
                   depending on which keys are defined.  GOLD key sequences
                   appear in reverse video.  To get help on a defined key,
                   press that key.

    HELP KEYS      Same as pressing GOLD-HELP:  Lists all currently defined
                   keys, including control keys and GOLD key sequences.  To
                   get help on a defined key, press that key.

    HELP TPU       Displays help on the TPU command, and switches to a help
                   library on TPU built-ins and other topics.  For a list
                   of these topics, you can then type a question mark (?).
                   To return to help on the editor, type EVE.

 Usage notes:

 o  To exit from HELP and resume editing, press RETURN.

 o  On DECwindows, you can get help on menu items or on buttons in a dialog
    box as follows:

       1.  Drag the mouse to the menu item you want help on.

       2.  Press and hold the HELP key.  Release the mouse,
           and then release the HELP key.

 o  The last HELP topic you viewed is stored in EVE's Help buffer, which
    you can write out.  To keep a copy of the list of key definitions, use
    the following commands---in this case, writing out the list to a file
    named KEYS.LIS:

       Command: HELP KEYS
       [ ... press RETURN to exit from HELP ... ]
       Command: BUFFER HELP
       Command: WRITE FILE keys.lis
