-
- + calendar and help applications
-
- + access to all SCOadmin managers and UnixWare 7 configuration tools
- from the desktop
-
- + a graphical login
-
- This desktop is enabled by default.
-
- For more information on the CDE desktop, click above the Help icon on the
- CDE desktop, then click on CDE Help.

-
- Configuring and using SCOhelp
-
- All of the topics referred to in this chapter are available through
- SCOhelp, the documentation browser provided with UnixWare 7. SCOhelp is
- enabled by default in all system profiles except Small Footprint.
-
- SCOhelp uses a powerful search engine powered by Verity, which allows for
- multi-word and boolean searches and word stemming. After you install all
- software and documentation, you must create the search index using the
- config_search(1M) command. This process takes up to an hour, but the
- command can be run in the background. Enter the following in a terminal
- window:
-
- /usr/man/bin/config_search &
-
- If you are indexing English language documentation only, you can enter
- the following to speed the indexing process:
-
- /usr/man/bin/config_search -L en_US.ISO8859-1 &
-
- You can start SCOhelp in any of these ways:
-
- + Enter scohelp at the command line in an xterm window on your desktop.
-
- + From the CDE desktop, double-click on the Help icon.
-
- + From the Panorama desktop, double-click on the Help icon.
-
- + From within an SCOadmin manager, point to (or highlight) the item you
- want help on and press <F1>. Or, click on the Help button if one is
- available.
