# Getting Help

jed's help functions are bound to CTRL-H by default. For example, CTRL-H C will show what function a key carries out, CTRL-H I will run jed's info reader, CTRL-H F will give help on a particular S-Lang function, etc. However, some modes may use the CTRL-H key for something else. For example, if EDT mode is in effect, then CTRL-H may be bound to `bol` which causes the cursor to move to the beginning of the line. See the section on EDT for more information.

If jed is properly installed, this entire document is accessable from within the editor using jed's info reader. CTRL-H I will load `info_mode` allowing the user to browse the document as well as other ``info'' documents.
