Online Help Not Working--Also Need Tutuorials

[Larry R Harrison Jr]

I have Labview 6, running on Windows NT. I also have a book-based tutorial
on hand, which is VERY necessary, because I am a BIG-TIME newbie with
Labview.

Anyhow, I was trying to activate Online Help. At one screen, I tried
clicking a Question mark which is labeled "Other help," which presumably is
online. However, clicking on it produces nothing. Also, "online reference"
is not in the Help "drop-down" menu, as it appears in the tutorial book
(which I THINK is based on Version 5, not my Version 6).

Anyway, I am trying to find online help within the menu structure. Where
would one find it in Version 6?

Lastly, I am a BIG-TIME newbie with Labview. Where's the best web site to
locate tututorials, and are there
seminars which teach the program which
don't cost quite $1000?

Hello Larry,

In LabVIEW 6.0, you can access the online help by selecting Help»Contents and Index.

You also can display the Context Help window by pressing Ctrl-H. The Context Help window displays brief information about objects on the front panel or block diagram as you move the cursor over them. If the More Help button at the bottom of this window is enabled (not dimmed), you can click the button to launch the online help topic to a related topic with detailed information about that object.

Sincerely,
