17.13.3 Setting up multi-file browse sequences

If your help project contains more than one topic file, and you want to be able to browse from one to the next (as users generally expect), you will need to specify a different Start number for each file. You can do this in three places:

To place the start numbers in the [BrowseStart] section:

[BrowseStart]
; overrides the [HelpBrowse] Start above for the file named
; filename (no extension) = start number

To use a file-specific configuration file, create a plain text file with the same base name as the RTF file you are producing, but with extension .ini. All it needs to contain is:

[HelpBrowse]
Start=nnnn

Allow enough numeric room between successive Start settings to accommodate the maximum number of topics you might have in each file. You can include any settings specific to a particular file in such a configuration file; they override the corresponding settings in the d2winhelp.ini file.
