Invoking Help

KHelpCenter can be called in several ways:

From the Help menu

The most common will probably be from within an application. Choose Help->Contents to open that application's help file, at the contents page.

From the K menu

Choose the big K in your panel, and select Help to open KHelpCenter, starting at the default welcome page.

From the panel

By default, the Kicker panel contains an icon to call KHelpCenter. Again, the default welcome page is displayed.

From the command line

KHelpCenter may be started using a URL to display a file. URLs have been added for info and man pages also. You can use them as follows:

An application help file

khelpcenter help:/kedit

Opens the KEdit help file, at the contents page.

A local URL

khelpcenter file:/ usr/local/src/qt/html/index.html

A Man page

khelpcenter man:/strcpy

An Info page

khelpcenter info:/gcc

Invoking khelpcenter with no parameters opens the default welcome page.
