Getting help in ICL

When in ICL, on-line help on PONGO may be examined using the command:

ICL> help pongo

This will provide a brief description of the package and how to begin and end a PONGO plotting session. Once the PONGO commands have been made available within ICL, i.e. by typing

%  pongo

at the C-shell prompt or:

ICL> pongo

at the ICL> prompt, on-line help on any PONGO command may be examined using the command:

ICL> help <pongo command>

The command:

ICL> help pongo

will produce a brief introduction to PONGO, and the command:

ICL> help introduction

will produce a more detailed introduction to PONGO and how to get started. These help commands are also available at the PONGO> prompt. A classified list of PONGO applications (HELP CLASSIFIED) is provided within the help system and help is also provided on running the PONGO examples (HELP EXAMPLES).

If difficulties are encountered with PONGO and the on-line help system does not reveal the cause, it is recommended that the relevant sections of this document are read, or re-read. It may be that this document does not provide enough detail concerning the behaviour of the PGPLOT graphics package: for detailed information regarding PGPLOT, the PGPLOT manual should be consulted (available as a Miscellaneous User Document, MUD, at all Starlink sites). As a last resort, the problem may be regarded as a software bug and reported to the Starlink Software Librarian (ussc@star.rl.ac.uk).
