Internet Explorer 6.0's help file (at Help>Contents & Index) does a cool
trick I can't figure out in Robohelp. When I open a book, any previous books
I had opened close. In other words, only one book stays open at a time. As I
have a large help file with about a dozen books and three dozen sub-books,
it would be nice to incorporate this automatic book-closing within my table
of contents.

The only way I've read to do this is by going into a certain file's code and
replacing one parameter with another. I think there should be an easier way
to do this. Any suggestions?

By the way, thanks you to all those who responded to my previous question
about converting Robohelp docs to Word.

Tom
