The HELP command is used after an error occurs in a BASIC program. When used, the line in which the error occured is listed, and the component causing the error is shown flashing. Useful in both direct mode, or in a BASIC program to help debugging.

By default, the HELP key issues the HELP command. This corresponds to KEY 8.

20 BUG : REM THIS CAUSES A SYNTAX ERROR
100 HELP
When you RUN this program, 20 BUG is displayed with the word BUG flashing.
