HELP Command

A user who is uncertain about the attributes of a command should try the command HELP, which has three formats:

HELP;                 // Give help on the "HELP" command
HELP,NAME=label;      // List function and attribute types of "label"
HELP,label;           // Shortcut for the second format
label is an identifier. If it is non-blank, MAD prints the function of the object label and lists its attribute types. Entering HELP alone displays help on the HELP command.

Examples:


HELP;
HELP,NAME=TWISS;
HELP,TWISS;
