The Browse buttons, which were standard in Help version 3.0, are now optional in version 3.1. Even though they are optional buttons, they can be considered as standard buttons because they are a feature of the Windows Help application. The Browse buttons have been made optional because Microsoft feels that this functionality can often be better presented in the context of the topic information rather than as part of the Help application. It is up to each individual author to decide whether to include the standard Browse buttons or create a unique, custom browsing feature in their Help system.
Browse buttons can be included as part of the standard Windows Help button bar by adding the BrowseButtons macro to the [CONFIG] section of the Help project file. For more information about adding the Browse buttons, see Chapter 15, “Help Macro Reference,” and Chapter 16, “The Help Project File.” The procedure for creating browse sequences within the topic files has not changed from version 3.0 to 3.1. See Chapter 6, “Creating Topics,” for the authoring information.
If the author includes the Browse buttons in the Help file, or if Help opens a version 3.0 Help file, the Browse buttons are displayed to the right of the four standard buttons (Figure 1.31).
Note:
When displayed in Windows Help version 3.1, version 3.0 files use the 3.1 text-only buttons rather than the graphical buttons seen in version 3.0.
