3.10 Using on-line help

The SAS GUI provides 3 levels of help:

• Yellow tool tips pop up when the cursor is placed over an item.

• The main window has a Help tool, in the tool bar; select the help tool and click on an item to obtain more detailed help.

• The Help menu provides access to the on-line documentation (each SAS task is fully documented, its documentation tree including several different sections, like algorithm, input, output, parameters, etc).

The on-line documentation request will start a browser if it is not already running before selecting "Help". The help menu passes the URL of the SAS documentation to that browser.
