Using the Epson HELP Utility

The Epson HELP utility provides on-line information on MS-DOS commands and programs. You can use HELP in either of two ways:

•You can type HELP at the command prompt and press Enter to display the HELP menu

•You can bypass the menu by typing HELP plus the name of the command you want information about.

The HELP utility requires the two files HELP.COM and HELP.TXT. These files are located on the Operating 2 diskette. To run HELP from the hard disk, you must be logged onto the directory that contains these two files. If you copy HELP.COM to another directory on your hard disk or diskette, you must also copy HELP.TXT to the same directory.

To use the HELP menu, follow these steps:

1.Type HELP at the MS-DOS command prompt and press Enter.

2.The screen displays a menu of MS-DOS commands. Use the cursor keys to highlight the command you want information about, then press Enter.

3.If there is more than one page of information about the command you selected, you see the prompt PgUp at the top of the screen. Press the PgUp key to display the rest of the text.

4.To return to the HELP menu, press ESC. Press ESC again to exit the HELP utility. The last command selected in HELP is displayed at the command prompt for easy reference.
