The KwikINF window includes a Volume to Search list box of all online documents stored in the OS/2 BOOKSHELF subdirectories. KwikINF initiates searches for information in any online document in this list.
The BOOKSHELF is an environment variable, set in CONFIG.SYS, that contains a list of subdirectories containing online documents created as viewable .INF files with the Information Presentation Facility (IPF). The BOOKSHELF environment variable is set as follows:
SET BOOKSHELF=<subdirectory>;...;<subdirectory>;
Online documents for OS/2 (for example, the Command Reference) are stored in the \OS2\BOOK subdirectory of the drive on which OS/2 is installed. Online documents for the OS/2 Toolkit (for example, the Programming References) are stored in the \TOOLKIT\BOOK subdirectory of the drive specified during installation of the online programming information. As an example, after installation of OS/2 and the Toolkit, the BOOKSHELF environment variable is set as follows:
SET BOOKSHELF=C:\OS2\BOOK;D:\TOOLKIT\BOOK;
Where c: is the drive where OS/2 is installed and D: is the drive where the Toolkit is installed.
The online document where KwikINF looks for the Search String is selected from the Volume to Search list box by KwikINF or by you. KwikINF selects the Volume to Search by looking for the text string that has a matching entry in the KwikINF index file or, if there is no matching entry in the index file, in the Default Volume you have selected in the Configure KwikINF window.
