SYNTAX
assist [ -s ] [ -c ] [ name ]
DESCRIPTION
The assist command invokes the ASSIST menu interface software for
the DG/UX system. The ASSIST menus categorize DG/UX system
commands according to function in a hierarchy. The menus lead to
full-screen forms that aid you in the construction and execution
of a syntactically-correct DG/UX system command line.
If you type assist without arguments, you enter at the top of the
menu interface hierarchy. New users may select an introductory
tutorial explaining how to use the ASSIST software. You can also
specify a particular command form name and begin there. Options
are:
-c Use -c to invoke a command form in the user's current
directory.
-s Use -s to reinvoke the ASSIST setup module and check or
modify your terminal description. You can also access the
introductory information about ASSIST by using -s.
When you invoke assist, you perform operations within the program
by using assist commands. To see a list of the assist commands,
strike ^A or F8 when you are in assist. When you do this, a list
of the commands is printed on the terminal screen.
EXAMPLE
This example illustrates how to go directly to a particular
command form. In this case, mkdir is the desired command form.
assist mkdir
