Online/SPECTRA has a tree-like structured online help, like it is known from VMS.
ONLINE help [topic [subtopic [...]]]
Example:
ONLINE help move
In addition there is the apropos command that searches the help file for occurrences of strings.
ONLINE apropos string1 [string2 [string3]]
Example:
ONLINE apro conversion
If more than one search-string is supplied, only those lines are displayed which contain all strings. Apropos allows you to jump into the help tree.
Those who plan to write their own command files have to look into the SPECTRA manual. It is distributed via the WWW “HASYLAB Computing”. It is available as HTML document and as Postscript file.
Separate notes have been written for those experiments
which use Online. There you find the
information which is specific for a particular experiment.
The beamline notes are also distributed via the WWW.
