 ATTR_HELP_INITIAL_HELP_FILE,  ATTR_HELP_INITIAL_HELP

An object may use ATTR_HELP_INITIAL_HELP_FILE and ATTR_HELP_INITIAL_HELP to bring up a help context when the object becomes usable. ATTR_HELP_INITIAL_HELP_FILE defines the help file from which the help is to be taken; it is only used if ATTR_HELP_INITIAL_HELP is also present. This one defines the help context to be brought up on startup.

These attributes are used normally only by help-viewer applications, as it is unlikely help will be required on startup. Normally, help is brought up by the user pressing a help trigger.
