The start file is the main launch file of the project. The name of this file is set up in the SSL dialog.

The start file itself creates a frameset that holds the help and the start file holds a frameset that is used when frames are not supported.

When the help uses a DHTML navigation pane, the navigation pane uses whskin_pdhtml.htm. When the help uses a pure HTML navigation pane, the navigation pane uses whskin_plist.htm. When the help should not use frames to separate the help and the navigation, the help uses whnjs.htm.

The start file uses the following JavaScript files:

• whmsg.js
• whstart.js
• whstub.js
• whutils.js
• whver.js

Note:

• whstart.js identifies whether a context sensitive call is made. Context sensitivity is handled by whstart.js and the pages the script calls.
• The frame created by JavaScript calls the regular help. It calls whskin_tbars.htm and whskin_frmset01.htm.
• The regular frame calls whnjs.htm and whskin_blank.htm.
