The information in this guide is also part of the help system for Enterprise Server. See "How to Use Online Help."


How to Use Online Help
When you are using Netscape Enterprise Server, you can click Help in any Enterprise Server window to open a web browser window showing explanations of all of the window's user interface fields. You can then navigate to other parts of the help document, as well as the entire documentation set. The installation programs do not have online help, but the migration screens do.

To move to the top of whatever major part of online help you're in and gain access to navigational buttons and to a drop-down Contents list, Index, and "Bookshelf" of resources, click the arrow button to the left of a heading. (If you don't see an arrow button, scroll until you do.)

Note: To view the full drop-down Contents list, you might need to make your browser window larger.

Because you view help in a browser window, you can use the navigational tools of your browser as well as the navigational tools within help. For example, you can use browser commands to print, find information, and copy and paste.
