Using the Online Help System
The information in the Results help system is organized into discrete units called help topics. A help topic typically contains information about one thing, such as a particular window or dialog box.
When you access the help system, the Progress Help Viewer displays a single help topic on the screen. You can also use the Help Viewer to display and navigate through other help topics
The help system is hyper-text based, meaning you can click on underlined, colored text to access information about that topic. These special words and phrases are called hypertext links.
The following figure shows the Results Help that you can access from the main Progress Help window:
![]()
There are two types of links you can access; pop-up links and go-to links.
A pop-up link displays a definition when selected. For example, when you click the hypertext link “queries” in the help topic associated with the Results main window, the following definition appears:
![]()
The pop-up definition overlays the original help topic. To dismiss the pop-up definition and return to the help topic, click anywhere in the window or press ESC.
A go-to link displays a new help topic. For example, when you choose the hypertext link “General Tasks” in the help topic associated with Results, the following subtopics appears.
![]()
From this topic, you can access other help topics.
As you can see, hypertext is a powerful information presentation and navigation tool. You can also use the Contents, Search, Back, and History buttons to create your own paths through the help system.
