starter(1)                 DG/UX 4.30                  starter(1)



     NAME
          starter - information for beginning users

     SYNOPSIS
          [ help ] starter

     DESCRIPTION
          The DG/UX system Help Facility command starter provides
          three categories of information about the DG/UX system to
          assist new users.

          The three categories are:

          - Commands a new user should learn first.

          - Documents that are important for beginners.

          - Local environment information.

          The user may choose one of the above categories by entering
          its corresponding letter (given in the menu), or the user
          may quit and exit to the shell by typing q.  When a category
          is chosen, the user will receive one or more pages of
          information pertaining to it.

          From any screen in the Help Facility, a user may execute a
          command via the shell (sh(1)) by typing a ! and the command
          to be executed.  The screen will be redrawn if the command
          that was executed was entered at a first level prompt.  If
          entered at any other prompt level, only the prompt will be
          redrawn.

          By default, the Help Facility scrolls the data that is
          presented to the user.  If you prefer to have the screen
          clear before printing the data (non-scrolling), set the
          shell environment variable SCROLL to no.  Do this in the
          Bourne shell, sh(1), by adding the following line to your
          .profile file (see profile(4)):

             SCROLL=no; export SCROLL

          In the csh(1), add the following line to your .login file:

          setenv SCROLL no

          If you later decide that you prefer scrolling, set SCROLL to
          yes.

          Information on each of the other Help Facility commands
          (locate, usage, glossary, and help) is located on their
          respective manual pages.

     WARNINGS

          value type 450 (a hard-copy terminal).  For a list of valid
          terminal types, refer to term(5).
