You can also display help for most of the listed utilities by calling the help function or entering a question mark (?) from within that utility.

In addition to multiple screens summarizing each utility, a glossary may be provided that defines the terms used on the help screens and gives a description of the syntax.

To return to the previous help level, press PF3 from any screen. To leave the help facility from any help screen, press PF12.
