Assuming that the  text file helo.js is under your http documents root, you 
would probably want to do:

         <script type="text/JavaScript" src="/helo.js"></script>

If your secure and non-secure documents roots are the same, this should be 
all you need to do. Otherwise you'll want to copy or symlink (if allowed) 
the helo.js file in the secure root as well.

If helo.js is not located (or symlinked from) the http documents space, 
none of this will work at all; in that case you'll want to [include] it 
into the page, or make a component for it, or store/retrieve it from a 
catalog variable - something of that nature.
