The HELP command (F1/13) shows you general information about an ISPF system command, ISPF option, or panel, or offers more information about a message that has been displayed in the upper-right corner of the screen.

For short messages, HELP displays a one-line explanation. To get further information, enter the HELP command a second time for the appropriate section of the tutorial. Long messages display (by default) in a pop-up window. Enter END (F3/15) or RETURN (F4/16) to return to the screen that you were viewing when you entered the HELP command.
