15 Help <br />A variety of support material is available to users of the BehavePlus fire modeling sys- <br />tem. One of the lessons listed in Appendix B was developed to describe the help that is <br />available, both within and beyond the BehavePlus program. This section presents a more <br />general overview of help information sources. <br />A click on the Help button in the top menu bar (Figure 70) provides a link to information <br />about the program: About BehavePlus, About Help, the User's Guide, the Variables <br />paper (Variable Help), an index of all components of the BehavePlus Help system in <br />HTML format (Master Index), and Installation Info (Section 15.6). <br />Fie Ca Wft View Cwhw Pep- Whim Toot It* <br />D 990 r- * 01 <br />AboutlaehaY�Fl <br />Figure 70—The Help item on the toolbar provides access <br />to several types of help. <br />15.1 User's Guide <br />The User's Guide (Andrews and others 2008) is a reference guide on program operation. <br />It does not provide information on the fire models. The User's Guide is a printable pub- <br />lication that is available as a PDF that comes with the program and can be opened with <br />Help > User's Guide. Bookmarks and internal links allow quick navigation to the area of <br />interest. Updates to BehavePlus, Version 5.0 did not involve basic program operation, so <br />the User's Guide was not updated. The Version 4.0 User's Guide is still valid. <br />95.2 Variables Paper <br />The Variables paper (Andrews 2009) describes the more than 180 variables in Behave - <br />Plus along with information on input and output relationships. As with the User's Guide, <br />it is available as a PDF that comes with the program (Help > Variable Help). The docu- <br />ment includes information that was previously available only in separate Help windows. <br />The variables are organized in several ways to facilitate finding the required information. <br />Bookmarks and links within the paper allow a user to navigate among related variables. <br />84 USDA Forest Service Gen.
