       if the AnswerBook2 server has been defined, a link to AnswerBook2 collections.

       To define a default AnswerBook2 server, use the environment variable, AB2_DEFAULTSERVER.

       This functionality is also accessible through the AnswerBook2 option  on the CDE front panel Help menu.

       If you need an AnswerBook2 server, you can download the AnswerBook2 server software from http://www.sun.com.
