 When you type HELP:

  o  A menu of topics on which assistance is available replaces the
     RDO> prompt.

  o  After the menu scrolls by, the cursor remains at a "Topic?"
     prompt.  Typing any of the menu items yields assistance on that
     topic.  Many of the topics have further levels of assistance,
     indicated by a "Subtopic?" prompt.

  o  To move back to the next higher level, press the carriage return
     key.  For example, pressing RETURN at the "Subtopic?" prompt
     brings you to the "Topic?" prompt, and pressing RETURN again
     returns you to the RDO> prompt.

  o  To see the list of additional topics at any level, type a
     question mark (?) and press RETURN.

  o  To leave HELP, hold down the CTRL key and press the Z key at the
     same time, or press RETURN at the "Topic?" prompt.
