Hello,
I recently installed Oracle10g and now I want to activate/enable/install help for Oracle.
After I connect with my user I want to have access to help commands and auto-completion. How do I do that? Do I need to install something ?
Thank you!

That's not a wonderful news. Is there another application / another way to connect, different than using sqlplus?
I'll document myself, but in the meantime is not a crime to put a question.
Thank you!

There are many 3rd party tools to use for development.
TOAD and PL/SQL Developer are two of the more popular ones

SQL Developer by Oracle is free for download from http://technet.oracle.com
Sure, it's not a crime to put a question, but as in your license-question: The intended way is the other way around: first read the docs and try to find out things yourself, and when you are stuck, then ask others to help you.
People tend to be more helpful when they get the impression you put some effort in yourself..

Btw,
If anybody users sqlplus and wants a little help, he can use:
oracle_server $ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus /nolog
SQL> conn xyzt as sysdba
Enter password:
Connected.
SQL> @hlpbld.sql ora_sqlplus:helpus.sql
now you have a lot of command help:
SQL> help index /displays a list of commands
and then to lear how to use a command:
SQL> help <command>
Have a lot of fun!
