{title:Description}

{p 4 4 2}{cmd:examples} looks for help on {it:topicname} and displays any
Examples sections found in the Results window. Alternatively, {cmd:examples}
looks for help on {it:function()} (note the parentheses) and displays a
definition in the Results window. It is especially designed to show quick and
easy reminders of the syntax of a given command. 

{p 4 4 2}{cmd:wexamples} is identical except that output appears in 
the Viewer. 


{title:Remarks}

{p 4 4 2}Given a {it:topicname}, {cmd:examples} looks for sections starting
with titles specified in SMCL containing the word {cmd:Examples} (or
alternatively {cmd:Example}) within any help file corresponding to
{it:topicname}. It will not be able to show material from older, pre-SMCL help
files or examples given otherwise.
