One of the most important menus is the Help menu. The Help menu is organized so you can get quick and specific information on just about any tool in Alias.

To get help on a tool or menu item

It is easy to get help on any tool or menu item in the interface using the following steps.

1. Click the Help menu, located at the right end of the menu bar.
2. In the Help menu, click What’s This?

3. Click a menu item or a tool icon in the Palette.

   A browser window launches and the on-line documentation about that tool icon or menu item displays.

4. When you are finished reading the information, minimize or close the browser window.
