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 "FlowJo Documentation É" 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. See the main help page for a link to downloading the 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. |
