NAME
     nhelp - explain the SBCS error codes

SYNOPSIS
     nhelp [-i] [-h hilit] help-keyword ...

DESCRIPTION
     nhelp retrieves information to further explain  errors  mes-
     sages  and  warnings  from  SBCS commands.  It also provides
     some information about SBCS command usage.  If no  arguments
     are given, nhelp will prompt for one.

     A help-keyword may be a message  number  as  it  appears  in
     parentheses  in  each  SBCS  error or warning message, or an
     SBCS command name. nhelp responds with an explanation of the
     message or a usage line for the command.

     There are also help pages on data_keywords, id_keywords  and
     SID.

OPTIONS
     -i   Interactive mode. nhelp  will  continue  prompting  for
          keywords   after   help   for  the  argument  has  been
          displayed. If no argument is given, the  -i  option  is
          implied.

     -h hilit
          Specify highlight mode. The help text may contain  some
          highlighted  information.   hilit  can  be 1, 2 or 3. A
          value of 1 means no highlight, 2 means  underline,  and
          {3} means bold (the default).  Whether the highlight is
          visible or not depends on the pager and  the  terminal.
          Of  less(1),  more(1), and pg(1), the first one usually
          has the better highlighting capabilities.

FILES
     $SBCS/help
          directory containing readable help text files.

ENVIRONMENT
     PAGER
          This variable determines the program to page output and
          express highlights (see -h option, above).  If PAGER is
          not set, the sbcsenv avriable pager [= "cat"] is used

COMPARISON WITH SCCS
     SBCS message numbers and text do not match  those  of  SCCS.
     The SBCS help text file format differs from that of SCCS.

DIAGNOSTICS
     The nhelp command can be used to interpret the  nhelp  error
     codes (and so on).
