            [SIC\]HELP [FUNCTION|TASK|RUN|GO] [Topic [Subtopic|*]]

        Display the help of various Gildas tools. There may  be  two  levels  of
        help  available.  In this case, a wildcard will display all the subtopic
        helps at once. You can use the switch SIC HELP to customize the way long
        helps are displayed (see HELP SIC HELP).

        HELP
          Without  an  argument,  HELP gives the list of available languages and
          commands.

        HELP LangName\
          With a language name followed by a backslash (e.g.  HELP  SIC\),  HELP
          gives  a  one  line  description of all commands specific to this lan-
          guage.

        HELP Command [Subtopic]
          With a command name, the help for this command is displayed.  Ambigui-
          ties  can  be  fixed  by  prefixing the command by its parent language
          (e.g. HELP SIC\DEFINE). A subtopic (e.g. an option name) can be  given
          as second argument.

          Subtopics  which appear in capital letters when listed by HELP Command
          are not case-sensitive, while Subtopics appearing in  mixed-cases  are
          case-sensitive.

        HELP FUNCTION [Name]
          With  the  keyword  FUNCTION  alone,  it gives a list of all functions
          available. With a function name added, it gives a  detailed  help  for
          this function. There are 3 kind of functions: 1) functions with native
          support in the SIC interpreter, 2) program-defined functions (specific
          to each program), 3) user-defined functions (defined with DEFINE FUNC-
          TION).

        HELP TASK [Group|?]
          With the keyword TASK, it gives a one line description of  all  avail-
          able  tasks.  A task group name can be given as second to restrict the
          list to this group. Type HELP TASK ? for the list of available groups.

        HELP RUN TaskName [VarName]
          With the keyword RUN followed by a task name, the help for  this  task
          is displayed.

        HELP GO ProcName [Subtopic]
          With  the  keyword  GO followed by a procedure name (lower case sensi-
          tive), the help for this procedure is displayed.

        HELP SIC SYNTAX
          Get some basic help on the SIC interpreter syntax.
