• Chapter 1: Aviation HelpSet. This HelpSet (set of files that make up an online help project) is used throughout the book. We use it to demonstrate how JavaHelp works and how to create and modify online help projects.

• Chapter 2: MyJavaHelp HelpSet. This is a "build from scratch" HelpSet, implementing a very simple help project.

• Chapter 6: Alternative Table of Contents Icons. You can use these icons to customize your help project's table of contents. Each online TOC entry can be preceded by an icon; JavaHelp provides standard icons, which you can easily replace with your own icons.

• Chapter 6: Default Stopwords File. This text file contains all of the default "stopwords" for JavaHelp's word-search facility. To create your own stopwords list, start with this one and add your own words.

• Chapter 7: TypeFace Tester Application. This is a Java application (also called "TypeFacer") to which we add various forms of JavaHelp: context-sensitive help, field-level help, embedded help. Also included is the HelpSet ("TFhelp") that the Java application uses.

• Chapter 7: Field-Level Help Cursor Icon. This .GIF file implements an icon that is appropriate for use on a field-level help button.
