Directive Information
The Directive Information command will bring up a dialog window listing the built-in directives.
Click one of the categories in the list box on the right to downselect the directives to those that are applicable to each category. Select the directive from the list box on the left by clicking on the directive name in the scrollable list. The Directive Info button will be enabled if descriptive or help information is available for the directive you selected. Click the button to view the information. Depending on the format of the available information, the Directive Info button may start the Windows Help program, Adobe Reader, or your browser.
An example of the selected directive will be shown in the example edit box at the bottom of the Directive Information dialog. In most cases, a Build Directive Palette will be activated in the lower pane allowing you to select the options you need for your directive. For example, the figure below shows the $Export directive which has a large number of options that can be selected. As these options are manipulated in the Build Directive Palette, the directive is constructed in the Example Edit Box.
In some cases a button will appear that will take you to the relevant window. For example, the figure below illustrates the $StopCriteria directive which has a button to take you to the Stop Criteria Tab of the Preferences Window. Once in the Preferences Window you can set up the associated options as you wish and then select OK to return to the Directive Information Window with the directive setup correctly in the Example Edit Box.
Once you are satisfied with the directive setup in the Example Edit Box select the Paste button, the contents of the Example box will be pasted into the Equations window at either (1) the top, (2) the bottom, or (3) the cursor position depending your selection in the Directive Information Window.
