HELP
H E L P
Display online information about commands and keywords
The HELP command displays online information about the commands and keywords you specify. This information includes a description of the command and a summary of command options.
Notes
The terminal server displays information about terminal server commands according to the privilege level of the port. If the port is Secure, for example, the terminal server displays only the commands that a Secure port accepts.
Terminal servers with limited memory display the command syntax only. All other terminal servers display the syntax and other information about the command.
For security reasons, the network manager may disable the HELP command on the terminal server, so it may not be available for use at your port.
