The HELP statement (or F1 button or Help menu) provides access to Gekko help system.
The help system opens up in a separate window and is of the type "Compiled HTML Help" (stored in a .chm file). The help system has Contents, Index, Search and Favorites tabs. Due to security, it is typically not possible to open the .chm file from a network drive. So per default, Gekko copies the .chm file to a temporary folder on the user's hard disk, in order to avoid this problem.
The help files are also available online here. The online version is not updated as often as the inbuilt version (.chm).
help statement;
statement |
(Optional). The statement on which help is needed. If the statement does not exist, the help system will indicate that the file is missing. Opening up with just help; is possible, but in that case pressing F1 is easier. Using the menu: Help --> Gekko Help File is also possible. |
If, for instance, you are in doubt about the syntax regarding the SERIES statement, you may look directly for this topic in the help file:
help series; |
If you cannot remember that the name of the relevant statement is SERIES (for instance), you may write
help; |
In the section 'Gekko User Manual' --> 'Gekko statements', there is a page called 'Statement overview' where the statements are grouped by categories. Else, the .chm help system is also searchable, cf. the Search tab.
