Using the Online Help

The MathsNet sites have context-sensitive online help which is always available by clicking on the help button - the button can be found on all the main pages near the top right. When the button is green it means that there is some help available on the currently displayed page, when it's gray then the help will open up on the index.

The actual content of this list will depend upon your user account type. The list can always be displayed again by clicking the Index button at the top of the help pop-up window.

To search the entire online help enter your search term in the search box at the top tight and press the Return key. This will display a list of results grouped by the general area (such as Account, Classes etc.) so that you can pick the most likely one that will answer your question. The example below shows some of the results from searching for password:
