Overview

This chapter covers items found under the Help menu at the top of the MeshTV Main window. The Help menu, shown in Help , is used to find general information on MeshTV such as: help on how to use the GUI, copyright information, and updates on the latest versions of the program. This menu contains the following items: On help , Getting Started , User's Manual , Command Line Interface , Release notes , Copyright , and Credits . Menu items with a ... in the name indicate that a window will open when the item is selected. The dotted line at the top of the menu denotes a "tear-off" menu, which means that when you click on the dotted line, the menu will "tear off" and stay posted until you close the window or press the ESC button while the window is selected.

Documentation on the Error window, which isn't accessible via the Help menu but does offer help, is located at the end of this chapter.

This section gives a quick description for each menu item. More detailed descriptions follow this section.
