> How to Learn eValid Command Details

  eValid has a rich and varied command structure.  There are over
  125 different commands, each with different modifier structure and
  role within the eValid engine's operation.  Some are intrinsic
  (put in the script file automatically) and some extrinsic (you
  edit them in).

  How do you know which command does what?

  * Instant Command Documentation

    You can view individual commands from the online eValid
    documentation direct from the View Script window.

    Use eValid > View > Script window to open the script window.
    You can also type "Ctrl-Alt-S".

    Make sure you are not editing the script.

    Move your mouse over the eValid command in question, and type
    Ctrl and then Double-Click the left button.

    eValid will show you the detailed definition of that command in
    the eValid browser window.

  * Complete Command Documentation

    The complete command documentation definition is in the online
    eValid documentation.

    Use eValid: Help > Documentation > User Manual to send eValid to
    the documentation area.

    Then, click on Technical > Script Language to see the
    consolidated script language definitions.

    The definitions are grouped according to function, and there is
    a complete alphabetic index at the bottom of the file.

    Note: You can choose to see the documentation in your current
    eValid window, or in a separate window.  You make this choice in
    the Record/Play Preferences menu.
