There is a known issue with the Google Chrome browser that causes the Table of Contents, Indexes, and the Search utility in WebHelp files to not display properly when the WebHelp source files are located locally on your system.
If you open the MVS Installation and User Guide from the MVS Toolkit menu bar, it is recommended that you use an alternate browser (for example, Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer).
