| Control Online Help | Controls a compiled help file by displaying the table of contents, jumping to a specific topic in the file, or closing the help file. |
| Get Help Window Status | Returns the status and the position of the Context Help window. |
| Open URL in Default Browser | Displays a URL or HTML file in the default Web browser.
