With this option, if this help browser pane is closed and another one is opened, the new pane will use the old pane’s home page.

-r data

Load the contents of a string directly into the browser. If the data begins with <html>, the browser will treat it as html; otherwise it will treat it as ascii text. Use -b to specify the base URI for relative references in the string.
