Key macros <B>?</B> and <B>h</B> implement the command
<B>help</B>.

<H3>Usage:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>help</B>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Summary:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
The <B>help</B> command prints the command list for commands
known to the <B>wind3d</B> window, along with a line of text
summarizing the command usage. It is separate from the help
procedure for <B>magic</B> as invoked from the console
(terminal). It does not, for instance, accept a "<I>pattern</I>"
argument.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>help</B> is implemented as a built-in <B>wind3d</B>
window command in <B>magic</B>. It can only be invoked from
a window created with the <B>specialopen wind3d</B> command,
or the <B>render</B> procedure. Note that the <B>wind3d</B>
window is only available when magic is compiled with the OpenGL
graphics option and invoked with <B>magic -d OGL</B>. <P>
Note that macros of the <B>wind3d</B> window are hard-coded,
and cannot be changed with the <B>macro</B>, <B>gmacro</B>, or
<B>imacro</B> commands. There is no "<TT>:</TT>" macro for
entering commands; to enter commands from the command-line,
use the <A HREF=../tk_path_name.html> <I>tk_path_name</I></A>
command. The default Tk path name of the <B>wind3d</B> window
is "<TT>.magic3d</TT>".
