The PRONETA Basic Online Help is toggled by selecting the "Help" entry from the "Help?" drop-down menu at the right end of the navigation bar, or by pressing "F1" at any time. A Help View is opened on the right side of the PRONETA Basic window, where you can browse through the help topics by scrolling, following the links, or selecting entries from the table of contents. The view size can be changed by dragging the pane border to the left or the right.
The help provides the same information as this manual.

Help View Contents
The Help View consists of one or two elements arranged left to right. Beside the main help topic (1), there is an optional second pane (2) to the left which displays either the table of contents or the search view.
Search
Clicking on the "Search in Help" icon (3) in the navigation bar will turn the search view on and off.
When a search term is entered in the search field (4), PRONETA Basic will perform a full text search across the complete help contents, displaying a results list below the search field. Click on one of the result entries to jump to the corresponding topic in the main help topic window, where the search term found will be highlighted.
The search function is case-insensitive and does not allow for wildcards or regular expressions. A search for "opolo" will find both "topology" and "TOPOLOGIES", for example.
Clicking on the "×" symbol at the right end of the search field (4) clears the search term and all search results.
Table of Contents
Clicking on any topic in the table of contents will jump to the corresponding help topic.
Help Topics
A view of the currently selected help topic. Use the scroll bar on the right side to navigate up and down in the help topic.
To close the Help View, do one of the following:
Click on the "×" symbol in the top right corner of the view's title bar.
Hit "F1".
Select "Help" from the "Help?" menu in the top right corner of the PRONETA Basic window.
