To start the documentation server on Windows, do the following:
start <vast>\help\bin\abtdoc.exe -z.ver=6.0
where <vast> is the directory into which you installed VisualAge Smalltalk.
By default, the server only accepts requests sent to localhost.
start <vast>\help\bin\abtdoc.exe -z.ver=6.0 -z.host=myhostname
where <vast> is the directory into which you installed VisualAge Smalltalk.
To use the shared documentation server, client web browsers must replace localhost with myhostname in the URL used to access the VisualAge documentation. You only need to make this change for the initial URL. Change the following:
http://localhost:57002/abtwebx/6.0/va/vast.htm
to the following:
http://myhostname:57002/abtwebx/6.0/va/vast.htm
To start the Documentation Server automatically when the machine boots, place a command file similar to the following in the Windows startup folder:
@echo off start <vast>\abtdoc.exe -z.ver=6.0
where <vast> is the directory into which you installed VisualAge Smalltalk and where <drive> is the drive on which you installed VisualAge Smalltalk.
To start the Information Center and access documentation, select the Information Center.
To stop the documentation server in, select Shutdown the Document Server from the Information Center screen.
To start the documentation server on OS/2, do the following:

cd <vast>\help\bin abtdoc.cmd -z.ver=6.0 -z.host=myhostname
where <vast> is the directory into which you installed VisualAge Smalltalk.
