Re: HTML Help and linking to PDFs

[Rick Stone <rstone75 -at- kc -dot- rr -dot- com>]

Hi Sharon

Does Flare offer the concept of Baggage Files? I know in RoboHelp if you 
linked to a PDF it would need to be listed in the Baggage Files area in 
order to be propagated to the output. If that didn't happen, the link 
would fail.

Cheers... Rick :)
