In a WebHelp system, the "home" page is usually the file that's has the same
name as the project. So if your project name is "for_bar," you should fiind
in the WebHelpoutput folder files named "foo_bar.htm," "foo_bar_csh.htm,"
and "foo_bar_rhc.htm." You want the file "foo_bar.htm."

Open it in one of two ways:

- As a standard page in your browser, using a planin link (anchor) tag.
- In a separate, sized window using JavaScript.

In either case, write a simple HTML page to do either or both of these.
