Select the
"Help on item..."
option in the Help menu.
After choosing this option the mouse's cursor changes shape; to obtain
specific information on an item, click on the corresponding XMayday
interface zone. For example, to learn the function of a particular
button on the current horizontal toolbar, choose
"Help / Help on item...", then click on the button in
question.
This type of help is also available by simultaneously pressing the
Control and F1 keys. This second method can be used to
display information on interface elements in the dialog boxes.
Select an interface element and press the F1 key. An
interface element is selected when a thin black line is visible
surrounding the element.
The selection method 'Help on item' is simpler and more efficient than
other methods.
