XploRe has an extensive help system, the Auto Pilot Support System (APSS). To start the APSS, select the Help item from the menu bar of the XploRe main window and select APSS Help. This will open your default World Wide Web browser and display the start page as shown in Figure 1.5.
The APSS provides several entry points for searching help using and programming in XploRe :
Figure 1.6
shows -- as an example -- the help page
for the function
abs
which computes
the absolute value.
As an advanced user of
XploRe
, you will be able to generate
your help pages for your self-written functions.
You are able to add your own functions to the APSS such that
you can create an
XploRe
environment according to your own needs.
