  NAME

    starter - Supplies information about the UNIX system for beginning users

  SYNOPSIS

    [help] starter

  DESCRIPTION

    The UNIX system Help Facility command starter provides five categories of
    information about the UNIX system to assist new users.

    The five categories are:

    ⊕  Commands a new user should learn first

    ⊕  UNIX system documents important for beginners

    ⊕  Education centers offering UNIX system courses

    ⊕  Local environment information

    ⊕  Online teaching aids installed on the UNIX system

    The user may choose one of the above categories by entering its
    corresponding letter (given in the menu), or may exit to the shell by
    typing q (for ``quit'').  When a category is chosen, the user will receive
    one or more pages of information pertaining to it.

    From any screen in the Help Facility, a user may execute a command with
    the shell (sh) by typing a ! and the command to be executed.  The screen
    will be redrawn if the command that was executed was entered at a first
    level prompt.  If entered at any other prompt level, only the prompt will
    be redrawn.

    By default, the Help Facility scrolls the data that is presented to the
    user.  If you prefer to have the screen clear before displaying the data
    (nonscrolling), the shell variable SCROLL must be set to no and exported
    so it will become part of your environment.  This is done by adding the
    following line to your .profile file (see profile): ``export SCROLL ;
    SCROLL=no''.  If you later decide that scrolling is desired, SCROLL must
    be set to yes.

    Information on each of the Help Facility commands (starter, locate, usage,
    glossary, and help) is located on their respective manual pages.

  EXAMPLES

    The following example shows how to invoke the starter command:

  NOTES

    If the shell variable TERM (see sh) is not set in the user's .profile
    file, then TERM will default to the terminal value type 450 (a hard-copy
    terminal).  For a list of valid terminal types, refer to term.
