If the help screen size is set up properly, there is a prompt on the
right which will say, "Last Page". This does indicate that there are no
additional pages to see.

Yes, I know, most people don't read some/all of the prompts on the
screen.  If they did, we would get fewer panic calls asking 'what do I
do next?"

Richard,

That's one of the things I hate about it.  If it's smart enough to show
you "Last Page", then it should be smart enough to NOT show you
<PgDn>-Scroll.  Prompts should only be shown when the situation would
allow them to be of some use (my opinion).

Regards,

Scott
