The Help entry and each of its subentries in the Index are links to web pages. Dragging each of these entries to the work space will open a web page in an Internet browser.

Help Entry Unfolded
Dragging Help to the work space will open the offline version of the main help page:

Opening CPN Tools Help
Dragging any of the subentries for Help to the work space will attempt to open online versions of web pages. An Internet connection is, therefore, required to view the web pages for Homepage, What’s New, Report Bug, License, and About.
The words CPN Tools help
in the upper-right-hand corner of every help page is a link. Clicking on that link will bring you back to the main help page.
