After a bit of random clicking through a few hundred files I got lucky.
Turns out the main file is "whnjs.htm". (Web Help Navigation Java Script?) Dunno if this is webhelp's default.
Anyway, it works equally in Linux Mozilla and Windows IE, way to go ehelp. Be nice if the default index file were more obvious though.

PS -- Elizabeth you might consider using webhelp for your HTML help system. The output looks pretty good. Has an expanding TOC + INdex + Search all nicely done in JS.
