At any time during a CICSPlex® SM session, you can request online assistance by issuing the HELP display command.
When you issue the HELP command:
a full-screen help panel is displayed. If there is more than one such panel for a help topic, an indication of further panels is provided at the bottom of the panel. To display the next panel in the sequence, you press Enter. To leave the help information, you issue the END command.
When you request help from the information display panel, a scrollable pop-up window partially, and temporarily, overwrites the contents of the panel. 3
An example help pop-up is shown in Figure 36.
