Use a Web browser to view the contents of your help system.
Before you begin
When the help system runs in server mode it calls a Web application
on the user-defined port and makes the help content available to any
Web browser that connects to that help system. The help pages and
menus are displayed in the locale of the Web browser. To change the
port on which the server starts, you can change the start up script
in a text editor.
