Overview

This chapter describes how to access help from the StrataView Plus BPX/IPX help function, the HPOpenView help function, and the SV+ Desktop help function.


Using BPX/IPX Help

The StrataView BPX/IPX Help feature provides on-line help for using BPX/IPX commands. The BPX/IPX Help window is automatically displayed when StrataView Plus is started. You can iconize it and then restore to a window as needed. A FrameViewer application icon is also present at the top of the workstation screen. This can be used to bring up a second screen, in the event that you want to maintain two screens.

Note When using a StrataView Plus workstation, you enter BPX/IPX commands via the Node Administration window. The commands are then executed by the BPX/IPX system software.

When StrataView Plus is running, on-line help for the StrataCom BPX/IPX commands is available by clicking the BPX/IPX Help icon. To use the BPX/IPX Help feature:

  1. Click on the BPX/IPX Help icon to display the IPXHelp Menu.

  2. Press the On-Line Help Instructions button. This starts you off with instructions on how to use the BPX/IPX Help program. If you are already familiar with using the program, you can click on the other button menu items, as desired.

  3. When finished, you can shrink the BPX/IPX Help program back to an icon, by clicking on the second small box from the right at the top of the menu.

The BPX/IPX Help window is shown iconized, but on startup it is open. It can be shrunk back down to an icon by clicking on the minimize button in the upper right hand corner of the window.
