Getting Help

There are five main sources of help on using Minsky:

1. This manual, downloadable from http://www.profstevekeen.com/Minsky;
2. A lengthier half-manual, half-book on non-mainstream economics entitled Modelling with Minsky , also downloadable from http://www.profstevekeen.com/Minsky;
3. Tyrone Keynes’s YouTube Channel Modelling with Minsky (https://www.youtube.com/c/ModellingwithMinsky); and
4. The online reference manual at https://minsky.sourceforge.io/manual/minsky.html; and
5. Context-sensitive help within the program.

Context-sensitive help is available for all operators in Minsky via the right-click menu. Pressing the right-mouse-button while on the main canvas brings up the Canvas Help—see Figure 44.

Similar Help menus apply for every component of Minsky. For example, Figure 45 shows the help entry for the running sum operator.
