Online help and information is available at any time and provides users with instant explanations of OS/2 2.0 functions, eliminating the need to keep a manual nearby. An online, interactive tutorial teaches users how to use a mouse, how to work with objects, how to optimize the window environment, and how to use the online help and information. An online glossary of terms also is available.
The Start Here icon on the OS/2 desktop contains a selectable list of the tasks users perform most frequently, such as adding and using applications, finding information, printing, and shutting down their systems. Users can select the task they need to perform and go directly to the procedure for accomplishing it, which is in the Master Help Index.
The Master Help Index contains an alphabetic, selectable list of topics, enabling users to quickly locate instructions for completing any task supported by OS/2 2.0. Some topics contain hypertext links, enabling users to select a topic of choice and view related information immediately. Topics also can be searched and printed easily.
