Re: Standard WinHelp vs. WinHelp 2000

["Mike Starr" <mikestarr-techwr-l -at- writestarr -dot- com>]

I really like WinHelp 2000... it addresses the one deficiency that really 
frosted me when Windows released the last version of WinHelp. The original 
WinHelp required one to specify the topic to be displayed when the help 
window was displayed. The latest version of WinHelp launched only the 
TOC/Index/Search. I've always felt that help launched without a topic window 
was a flawed approach. I want to be able to display the corporate identity 
anytime someone launches the help application. With WinHelp 2000 you get the 
Toc/Index/Search pane and the topic pane at the same time.
