Class wwHelpConfig

This class holds Help Builder's Configuration settings. These settings determine how the Help Builder User Interface works and it also holds common settings from the currently active Help Builder Project file.

The Config object is accessible only through the wwHelpForm interface, not from the base wwHelp object.

To access the config object usually looks like this:

oHelp = CREATEOBJECT("wwhelp.wwhelp")
oHelp.OpenForm("",0)
oConfig = oHelp.oForm.oConfig

The object will be loaded up so no manual loading is required under usual circumstances.

The Help Builder Form writes out and calls the Save() method when it is shutting down to save it's last access state (last topic, last position etc.).
