Linking to Webhelp entries

I've exported a RoboHelp Word help file to WebHelp. How do I point users at a specifc topic using a url? The help app is here:
http://www.profantasy.com/cchelp/fcad32.htm

For example, if I clicked on the link "CC3 for new users" and wanted someone to be able to point their browser at it, what link would I use?

Thanks

Your http://www.profantasy.com/cchelp/fcad32.htm URL will indeed bring your users to the topic "CC3 for New Users", as that is your default page.

To bring up other pages within the Webhelp frame, you will use the hashmark syntax. If the topic is in a subdirectory, you'll need to add that, as well. A jump to 'Cosmographer Pro overview', for instance, would use the hashmark, subdirectory, and topic filename, like so:

http://www.profantasy.com/cchelp/fcad32.htm#cosmographer/hlp_cnc_cosm.htm

Thank you.

So I can right click on the content panel and do properties to grab the contents, url, strip of the beginning, add a # and append it onto the root filename.
