keyboard "{F1}" is doubtful. This assumes you have the F1 key assigned to help in some menu. Use the HELP command instead.

SET HELP has to options. The other is SET HELP ON/OFF. Be sure to set it ON.

Sometimes you have trouble accessing files over the network. This has to do with security over the network. Before going into more details, see whether this is the case, by accessing the help file (a) on the local computer, and (b) over the network. If there is this security interference, you usually get something like a help file with an empty page.

Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
