One view that shows up in the main display area is the Help window. This can of course be displayed by selecting various items on the Help menu, such as Contents.
Context-sensitive information about parts of the interface can be obtained by placing the cursor over the area you are interested in and pressing F1. Information about that area appears in the Help window, or sometimes help about a parent container shows up, which usually contains the information you are seeking.
