How to Use the Language Reference

From Real Software Documentation

Description

The Language Reference contains the text of the Real Studio Language Reference.

To display the Language Reference, choose Online Reference from the Help menu or Show Language Reference from the Window menu (Windows only). On Macintosh, pressing the Help key brings up the Online Reference. On Windows, press F1.

You display the documentation for an item by clicking on its name in the Browser. Use the Arrows in the header area to move backward and forward through the items you have been browsing.

Searching the Online Reference

Use the Search entry area on the left side of the Wiki to search the Language Reference, the Tutorial, and the QuickStart. If you don't find what you are looking for, it may be in the Users Guide. To search the Users Guide, scroll to the bottom of the Search Results page and use the Advanced Search area. Check the UsersGuide checkbox and then enter your search string into the Search For area and click Advanced Search.

The following illustration shows a search in the Users Guide.

To search for a Real Studio language object (i.e., an item listed in the Browser), simply begin typing the name of the object.

As you type, Real Studio tries to guess the name of the object. If it has one guess, the guess appears in gray text. To accept the guess, press the Tab key.
