QUTIL Question

[Art Bahrs]

Hi Neil :)
   I have the manuals on CD ... but when I am trying to figure out the
syntax on a command in Quiz and it keeps going "boom" I immediately type
"help <command>" and hit the return key.... I mean... all I needed last
night was to see a concrete syntax diagram ... like the HP language manual
has.... Tho' as a rookie trying to learn Cognos and Qdesign and such....
some better "more realistic" examples would be nice in the manuals... Tho...
I will definitely be perusing the CD Manuals alot...

Art "hmm... what happens if I do this? hehe" Bahrs
