help

PURPOSE

     Provides information  about a Source Code  Control System
     (SCCS) message or command  or about certain non-SCCS com-
     mands.

SYNOPSIS
     help [args]


DESCRIPTION

     The help  command writes  to standard  output information
     about the use  of a specified SCCS command  or about mes-
     sages generated  while using the commands.   Each message
     has an associated  errorcode, which can be  supplied as a
     argument to the help command.  Zero or more arguments may
     be  supplied.  If  you  do not  supply  a argument,  help
     prompts for  one.  You may  include any of the  SCCS com-
     mands as arguments to help.

     The  errorcode consists  of numbers  and letters,  and is
     found at  the end  of the message.   For example,  in the
     message "no id keywords (ge6)", the error code is "ge6".

FILES
