ODS online help is context sensitive; therefore, any time that you
request help, ODS provides a relevant help message. Online help is
structured into the ODS software, and is available only if you install
it. The online help menu appears on the right side of the screen just
below the F5-Configuration heading.
1. To request help, simultaneously hold down the [ ALT ] key and [ H ]
key ([ ALT-H ] ), then release.
During the ODS installation process, ODS presents update
notices as a series of help messages. The help portion of the
screen describes how to use the menu for the help messages.
This help message contains some introductory information about ODS. Read it carefully.
