    BROWSE(1)           I/Forms FORMS_S product                BROWSE(1)



    NAME
        browse - I/Forms Help file browser.

    SYNOPSIS
        browse  [ structure_file [ topic_logical_name ] ]       \
                [ -p search_directory1 search_directory2 ... ]

    DESCRIPTION
        The browse utility, delivered with the FORMS_S product, is
        linked with the Help library, and it invokes the Help process
        to display the Help window.  Browse may be used to display
        an application's on-line Help files, without having to run
        the application.

        If "structure_file" is specified, then the Help process will
        display this Help structure file.  By default, if the structure
        file name is not given, then browse will try to display the
        default Help structure filename "help.hp" .

        If the "topic_logical_name" is specified, then browse will
        display that particular topic in the structure file; otherwise,
        the table of contents for that structure file is displayed.

        The "-p search_directory" list specifies in which directories
        browse will search for content files.  If the
        "-p search_directory" list is omitted, then browse only looks
        in the current working directory for content and structure
        files.
