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.
