Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

 
                      Searching for Text in MS-DOS Help
 
 Use the Find command from the Search menu to search for a specific
 string of text in MS-DOS Help. The Find command is a full-text
 search--that is, it searches through all the topics in MS-DOS Help.
 
 In the Find command dialog box, specify the text you want to search
 for, and then choose OK. MS-DOS Help searches forward from the
 cursor for the first occurrence of the search text. When it finds
 an occurrence of the text, it displays the topic the text is
 contained in. To find the next occurrence of the search text in
 MS-DOS Help, press F3.
 
 Select Match Upper/Lowercase to make the search case-sensitive.
 Select Whole Word to find only whole-word occurrences of the search
 text.
