Unlike BibleWorks, the help files in Logos are not separated and indexed in the same manner, although I am sure for many this is actually more beneficial, I find it harder to maneuver. The first true function which they cover is the command box. This is not the box that appears with the passage guide, but it is the one that appears at the very top of your screen on the toolbar. It is most useful when you are looking for something very specific. This is not really to be used when looking for a passage.
When you type into this box, it will do a search of all your book and display to you the result. If you type in a passage it will not give you a passage guide instead it will find every time and every book that references those particular verses. This at times can be helpful but I find the guides to be much more helpful in these cases.
What is helpful about this command box is some of the things that you can do with it. If you look in the help file there is a list of commands that you can type in and get certain results. Some of my favorites include the Biblical Places and Biblical people. However you can ask it to go to, create, look up and even load new when you create something and need it to load into your program (hopefully we will get to this later).
