# Getting Help

To get help within the programs simply type `HELP` and you will be presented with a list of commands which the help facility knows about. The `ProFit>` prompt will also change to `Help>`. You may then type the name of a command to get help on that command. Typing `HELP` once in the help facility will repeat the list of available help topics. Like the main command interface, the help facility will accept upper or lower case and you may abbreviate commands. If your abbreviation is ambiguous (i.e. more than one command starts with the letters you have specified), help will be supplied on all the commands which match2.

If the help text is longer than 21 lines, you will see a prompt saying

       More...

in which case you should hit the Return (or `Enter') key to get the next page of help.

Once at the `Help>` prompt, you should simply hit the Return (or `Enter') key to get back to the main `ProFit>` prompt.

If you know the topic on which you need help, you may type the name of the command after the `HELP` keyword at the main `ProFit>` prompt. After the help message is printed, you will be returned directly to the `ProFit>` prompt. For example, if you want help on the `ZONE` command, you may type:

       HELP ZONE

Allied to help, is the `STATUS` command. This tells you the current status of the program: what structures are loaded, fitting zones, atoms and the like.

#### Footnotes

... match2
  The one exception to this is if the letters you supply are an abbreviation of `HELP`, when the list of help topics will be shown again.
