How to Get Help in Stata

Full text: phantran.net/getting-help-in-...
Stata’s help system provides a wealth of information to help you learn and use Stata. Let’s illustrate the help system with an example in this video. You will get the most benefit from the example, if you work along at your computer.
Follow the above approach: first, Select Help - Search; then, check that the Search all radio button is selected.
Now, type dataset contents into the search box, and click on OK or press Enter. Stata will now search for “dataset contents” among the Stata commands, the reference manuals, the Stata Journal, the FAQs on Stata’s website, and community-contributed features. Here is the result.
Upon seeing the results of the search, we see two commands that look promising: codebook and describe. Because we are interested in the contents of the dataset, we decide to check out the codebook command. The D means that we could look up the codebook command in the Data Management Reference Manual. The codebook link in (help codebook) means that there is a system help file for the codebook command. This is what we are interested in right now.
Click on the codebook link. Links can take you to a variety of resources, such as help for Stata commands, dialogs, and even webpages. Here the link goes to the help file for the codebook command.
What is displayed is typical for help for a Stata command. Help files for Stata commands contain, from top to bottom, the following features.
