# GRASS Help System

## WELCOME TO THE GRASS ON-LINE HELP SYSTEM

The GRASS On-Line Help System provides information about GRASS and its many capabilities. Information is organized under "topic areas" which categorize GRASS commands by their specific application within GRASS. Each area provides you general information about a topic (i.e., map development). You then have the option to explore the topic further by accessing more specific information on the GRASS commands which correspond to that topic.

The Help System also provides users with an on-line glossary of the most commonly used GIS and GRASS terms and an on-line version of the GRASS User's Reference Manual.

Information is linked throughout the Help System, by the use of highlighted keywords or text strings within the text. By using the RETURN KEY, you can move from highlighted word to highlighted word. An asterisk (*) indicates the currently highlighted word. To make a selection, simply press the SPACE BAR Key.

The RETURN key and the ESCAPE key in the Help System perform the same functions as within GRASS programs, thus reinforcing their functionality.

To receive additional instructions on how to use this Help System, use the RETURN KEY to move through the above highlighted words, then press the SPACE BAR key to select the word.
