Get help on Xselect commands

Obtain help on the XSELECT commands, their syntax, and examples. Help uses an interactive browser over the Xselect help file. The optional topic list can be used to go directly to a particular topic and sub-topic; a command name on its own is looked up under the Commands topic. Within the browser, type a (sub)topic name to descend (the tab key completes topic names), ? to redisplay the current topic, and $<$CR$>$ to move back up a level.

To exit back to XSELECT, use an EOF (control-D), or type $<$CR$>$ until you leave the help facility.

Syntax:

xsel >  help <topic list>

Examples:

xsel >  help help

gives the text you are reading.

xsel >  help extract

gives the text for the extract command (equivalent to typing help "commands extract").
