20.3.7.6 Requiring full paths in the helpset file

To specify full paths instead of simple file names in links from the helpset file:

[JavaHelpOptions] or [OracleHelpOptions]
; HSPathNames = No (default, strip path from filenames) 
;  or Yes (use full path)
HSPathNames = Yes

The default setting, HSPathNames=No, is almost always the correct value, because the navigational files referenced in the helpset file are almost always in the same directory (see §20.3.6.1 Understanding the JavaHelp / Oracle Help directory structure). The only reason to put navigational files elsewhere would be to accommodate a proprietary standard; this setting is intended to support that use only.
