What file holds Window definitions?

I'm trying to move a Window definition from one RH project to another. What file is it stored in? I think it's in the hhp file, but when I move that over into my other project, nothing happens. I'm using the latest RH 9.

It depends on your single source layout. There is the RHWND.APJ file but I think this only has non-WebHelp based window definitions.

*.ppf holds window definitions for non-WebHelp. WebHelp windows are stored in rhwnd.apj.

Strangely enough, the .ppf is not referenced in the XPJ as a collection. A bit of divergence from RH’s regular inner workings.

The layout I need it for is the html help (chm) output. I had assumed that it was the hhp file because, well, hhp traditionally was the project file if you were only using Microsoft's s actual Html Help Workshop to generate a CHM. But I think RH uses the HHP for more than just chm layouts.

In any case, I doubt the hhp is the source file that holds the window definitions, because I think the hhp can get regenerated if deleted.
