UPDATE_INDEX is not in the online OI10 programmers reference

Interestingly it is cross referenced a lot from other routines but the core article isn't there. Just the api definition

Update_index(table_name, Index_name, Rebuild_flag, suppressMsg_flag)

Press F1 in the editor and it comes up. So, Yes. I was assuming the online help was the 'goto'

Where is this help coming from then.?

Can all the help where this is coming from be accessed from a menu function.?

Now I am a bit confused as to where I should be looking to see an upto-date list of all the functions that are now avaiable.

btw - I dont see where pressing F! is obvious to any newbie.

I am a teeny bit confused by this, F1 has been the help key since the mid-80s, although system builder did try and redefine this as the escape key for a short while…

Ok, forget that F! question then.

This is the one I am more concenered about.

What if you dont know that there is an update_index command.

I look at the contents list to find a coomand that looks like (by the name) that it might do what I want to do.

it is not in:

https://www.revelation.com/WebHelp/Programmers_Reference_Manual/ProgRef.htm

nor is it in OI10 → help-ctrl+f1

So I am concerned there are other command that I am missing out on.
