starter(1)                       DG/UX 5.4.2                      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.
