Splash
Displays an image for a specified number of seconds when the file that contains the HTML Help ActiveX control is opened. For example, using the Splash command, you could display a product logo or welcome message when a compiled help (.chm) file or Web page is first opened.
This command can be used with either a compiled help file or uncompiled HTML files.

Remarks
- You should insert the HTML Help ActiveX control between the <BODY> start and end tags of the file. Use of the control within the <FRAMESET> start and end tags is currently not supported. If you want to use the Splash command with a frameset, insert the control within the default HTML file that is specified in the frameset document.
