How to Use Help Screens
When PF1 is pressed in a form, a box with the help information will appear.

If the field on the form where PF1 was pressed had a letter in it, the Help Screen will list the Help information alphabetically starting with that letter.
Example: If NA is in a field and PF1 is pressed on that field, the Help Screen will start with the N's.
- Select the Item -- To select an item, enter the Item number at Selection and press Enter. The code for that item will automatically be entered in the form
- Top -- To get to the top, type T at Selection and press Enter.
- Next Page -- To get to the next page, type N at Selection and press Enter.
- Specific Letter/Word -- To go to a specific letter or word in the Help Screen, enter the letter or word at Desc (Description) and press Enter. The Help Screen will begin with that letter or word.
- Previous Page -- To go to a previous page, type P at Selection and press Enter. You can only go to a previous screen if you have previously viewed it.
