Setting help preferences

If you are using QMF for Workstation, you use the Help page of the Preferences window to specify the default values for how help information is displayed and to change the interface and port specification for the internal server that the help system uses.

About this task

To change the web browser adapter setting:

Procedure

  1. Select View > Preferences. The Preferences window opens. Select Help from the tree.
  2. The help system can display information in either the Help view or in a browser. If the help is displayed in a browser, the browser can be an embedded browser or a full external browser. If the embedded browser is supported on your system, help will use it by default to display help. If you prefer to always use a full external browser, select Use external browser from the drop-down list.
  3. By default, context-sensitive help for workstation windows is displayed in the Help view. If you prefer to display workstation window context-sensitive help in infopops, select Open window context help in an infopop from the drop-down list.
  4. By default, context-sensitive help for dialogs is displayed in the dialog's tray, which is similar to the Help view. If you prefer to display dialog context-sensitive help in infopops, select Open dialog context help in an infopop from the drop-down list.
  5. Click Apply to save your preferences choices.
  6. Click Restore Defaults to restore the default preference values.
  7. Click OK to close the Preferences window.
