- OPEN a standalone HTML Help window. Ask WILHH To create a standalone HTML Help window. This window remains OPEN until the user closes it. Once this window is created, you can OPEN new topics In the window without creating a new window, just as you can with WinHelp.

- OPEN an HTML Help window based ON a keyword search. A common way of linking topics in a help system is through keyword and associative links--KLinks and ALinks, In WinHelp terminology. However, WILHH also allows you to OPEN the new topics in a window that is already open. In addition, WILHH allows you To use ALinks and KLinks In ways that HH.EXE doesn't support.
