URL's for Web Help?

First, my apologies if this question is as lame as it seems!

When my project is published and accessed via the web, the URL displayed in the address bar is always the start page no matter what page I've navigated to within the project. This makes it difficult to send a specific URL to a user in the form of: "Please see http:\\Product1\SecondChapter\ThirdTopic".

At the moment, I have to find the page myself, go to the directory of the project, and find where the file is physically located and then use that physical directory to construct a URL for the user.

I've tried using different (DHTML, JAVA, Pure HTML) TOC options, and they all have the same behaviour. Is there some easier way to point to specific topics within a Web Help project? I must be missing something obvious!

Thanks!
Keith

My apologies if I misinterpreted your post--I'm rushing.

Right-click in the frame that displays the topic (not the TOC) and click 'Properties.' The URL should be in the Properties dialog that appears.
