I'm going to add a related question. Does anyone else have trouble
closing the separate Netscape windows that open up with the individual
help files? The only way I have determined is to exit help.start(). It
would be nice to be able to close the help file but not help.start()
entirely. In fact, if you accidentally "close" the help.start window
instead of "exiting" it, the helpfile windows are still around and you
have to exit S entirely to get rid of them.
For some reason only the menubar containing Bookmarks and File Location
appear in the helpfile window instead of the File Edit View Go etc..
menubar. So if I want to print the helpfile, I note where the file is
located and call Netscape to open the file directly. That way I have the
ability to print the file. A rather roundabout and inefficent method.
We use 5.1 Release 1 for Sun SPARC. Right now, I just bypass help.start()
entirely and rely on help(). Is there some options that can be set to get
the File Edit View etc.. menubar to show up in the individual helpfile
windows? Is there some Netscape trick we are unaware of?
Thanks for any insight,
Nicole
