Requirements for Changing the Help Location

• Someone with Web access must download a local copy of the help by pointing a browser to http://www.sas.com/download/, and then choosing SAS/GRAPH Software under Downloads by Product Category.
• The downloaded documentation must be copied to a location where all users can access it (more information below). It is recommended that the entire directory structure and all of the files be copied as is; however, it is possible to copy only the help files that are required for one or more of the graph types.
• In the HTML file that references the graph, the HELPLOCATION parameter must point to the correct location of the help files. The parameter must be specified for the <APPLET> tag (Java applets) or <OBJECT> tag (ActiveX control) that references the graph.
• If the HELPLOCATION is changed in an HTML file that is being viewed in a browser, the HTML file must be re-opened in the browser. You cannot simply press the browser's Reload or Refresh button.

Copying Help Files to a Desired Location

• The SAS/GRAPH Web graphs documentation that is available for Web download contains information for SAS/GRAPH users, as well as help for each version of the SAS/GRAPH Web graphs. For example, the help for Release 8.1 of the web graphs is located in a subdirectory named v8_1.
• The version subdirectory (for example, v8_1) contains help information that applies to all of the graphs. In addition, to these files, there is a separate subdirectory for each graph type's unique help information. For example, the GraphApplet's help files are located in a subdirectory named graphapplet.
• After downloading the Web Graphs documentation, if you choose to copy only one graph type's help files to a local file system, you must preserve the directory structure of the help. Thus, copy all of the HTML and image files that are in the version subdirectory, and copy the subdirectory that contains all of the graph type's help files. For example, for the SAS/GRAPH GraphApplet, Release 8.1, copy all of the files in the v8_1 subdirectory, and copy the graphapplet subdirectory with all of its files. You do not have to use the directory names v8_1 and graphapplet in your local copies, but you do have to preserve the directory structure and the file names of all of the HTML and image files. The one exception is the main menu page, which you can rename. For example, if you want to rename mainmenu.htm to index.htm, you can do so.
• Before setting a HELPLOCATION value in an HTML file, be sure you know which graph type you are running and its version so that you point to the correct help. Use the Help menu to select the About option to see which version of the graph you are running.
• Point the HELPLOCATION parameter to file mainmenu.htm (or to its new name if you rename it) in the graph type's subdirectory.
