# Getting Help

To get help on the commands or the object model, refer to the Commands and Scripting Reference.

To get help on a specific function (command, method or property) you can also place the cursor on that function in the editing pane and press F1. The HTML Help browser should display help on that command—if it doesn't, it may be because of one of the following reasons:

- The function is misspelled.

- The cursor is in a keyword of the scripting language and not in a function.

- The function is not licensed for this installation of Autodesk Softimage.

- The function is part of a custom plug-in and not a native Autodesk Softimage function.
