4.4. Installing Online Help for PL/Vision
PL/Vision takes advantage of the online help architecture of PLVhlp. If you choose to install the set of parallel help packages for PL/Vision, users will be able to request help during their SQL*Plus sessions on any of the PL/Vision packages.
To install the PL/Vision help packages, follow these steps:
Set the default directory in SQL*Plus to the directory containing the PL/Vision software. Connect through SQL*Plus to the PLV account.
Run the PL/Vision help installation as follows:
SQL> @plvinsth
You will then have created a help package for each PL/Vision package. The naming convention for these packages is pkg_hlp, where pkg is the PL/Vision package name.

The help packages consist only of help text in the form of PL/SQL comment blocks; these packages do not have bodies.
See Section 4.5 for more information about how to access the PL/Vision online help text.

Drop the private synonym for PLVdyn in your user account ...
