The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Multimedia Viewer Publishing Toolkit, versions 2.0, 2.0a 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The syntax for the command line to launch the Viewer application
(MVIEWER2.EXE) with a title is as follows:

     MVIEWER2.EXE title.mvb

where "title.mvb" would be replaced with the filename of the title to be
opened.

To start Viewer at a particular topic within a title, the -i command-line
option can be used. This is the syntax for the -i command-line option:

     MVIEWER2.EXE -i context_string title.mvb

where "context_string" would be replaced with the context string of the
topic to be initially displayed. The -i switch is most useful for testing.

To cause a title to always open at a given topic, you can use the CONTENTS=
option in the .MVP file.
