página de inicio

English translation: start page

Spanish term or phrase: página de inicio
Hi,

Can anyone think of a good translation of the "página de inicio" of the help section of an application? I'm not sure that "home page" works here and the only other option I can think of is "main page" but I'm not sure about that either. The ST author has named the file "help root" but I've never heard this used and I can't find an example on the internet that supports it. Has anyone heard of this?

Thank you!

Kerry

Thanks James! It was really hard to decide who to give the points to in this case but I think "start page" is a particularly nice solution

Hi Kerry, then I think your suggestion of 'main page' or '(Help) Intro page'

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks so much Lisa! In any other situation this would be the perfect solution but unfortunately here there is a panel on the left-hand side which is the index of topics and then the "página de inicio" appears on the right panel with a brief description of the help section. At the moment I'm considering using "Introduction to Help Section" for the title and "this is the main page of the Help Section" ("esta es la página de inicio de la Ayuda de...") in the first sentence. I'm still not sure though!
