describe-key

Key: Alt-d
Menu: Help

Prints out the name of the function called by a key. After calling describe-key, press the key you are interested in and the associated function will be shown in the information area.


show-manual

Menu: Help

Shows the online manual for Red (the manual you are reading just now). The manual is an HTML document and a WWW browser is started to display it. The default browser is Netscape, but this can be changed using Red's X resources (see X Resources in the Customisation section).


key-bindings

Key: Alt-k
Menu: Options

This function is described in the customisation group, since it allows to change key bindings to personal preferences. But it is also useful as a help function, since it displays key bindings and short function explanations. See customisation functions: key-bindings.
