A related question to my previous message ... On his Website, Mr.
Grainge discusses calling WebHelp:

http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/calling_webhelp/using_urls.htm

He discusses calling WebHelp via the Startpage:
* Advantage: Navigation pane displays.
* Disadvantage: "If you call a second topic in this way before the
browser is closed, the new topic will not display and this was a
problem." (Mr. Grainge's words)

He discusses calling WebHelp via a Direct Call :
* Disadvantage : No Nav pane (you see the "Show" link).
* Advantage: No problems with second topic (I assume).

Question: What if you call the FIRST topic via the Startpage and the
SECOND topic via a Direct Call or Map ID? Anyone experienced any
problems opening the second topic?

Thanks! No more arcane questions on this topic for today!

Keith
