        examples topicname

        wexamples topicname

        examples function()

        wexamples function()


Description

    examples looks for help on topicname and displays any Examples sections
    found in the Results window. Alternatively, examples looks for help on
    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.

    wexamples is identical except that output appears in the Viewer.


Remarks

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


Examples

    . examples reg
