| FlowJo is littered with help buttons
throughout the application. Clicking on one of these launches a web
browser (typically, Netscape) to access a web page describing that
topic. Or, you can choose help from the Apple menu while running FlowJo
to go directly to the general help page. In
addition, you can press the "help" key on your keyboard
at any time. This will activate the help button on the frontmost
window (if one exists); otherwise, it will provide you with general
help on FlowJo.
Using the web browser, FlowJo gives you "context-sensitive
help"--i.e., taking you to help information specifically regarding
the operation you are currently performing.
FlowJo looks for help pages in one of two locations:
first, in a folder called
"Documentation"
that should be in the same folder as the application.
If this folder exists, then FlowJo directs Netscape to get its information
from that folder. If the folder does not exist, then FlowJo directs
Netscape to download the information over the net from a central
site. If that site cannot be accessed, then you will be unable to
view the help pages. Click this link
for information on downloading the Documentation folder (help information).
In order for the help to work, you need to have
enough memory available while running FlowJo such that Netscape
can also run. For details, see the page on memory
requirements.
