Question on calling webhelp in robohelp 7

[Robert Courtney <bobsc1 -at- earthlink -dot- net>]

It's been a long time since I had to set up calling web help in an 
application. I have read the robohelp instructions and I have no problem 
with how they work. I have, at one time, had a script from a 3rd party 
that used calling the files by string and not numbers. The robohelp 
tools use numbers. Is there a way to use a string calling the js that 
robohelp uses and not the numbers?

I have looked at the map file and tried replacing the number with a 
string, but have not been able to get the web page to pull up the 
correct help topic. I only get the default first topic from the help.

Just curious if this can be done using the robohelp js and modifying the 
map file.

Thanks,

Robert Courtney
