The book "Developing Online Help for Windows"
defines the hotspot as:
jumps using green underlined text
The Robohelp manual defines hotspot as:
"An area of text or graphics that, when clicked in the
Windows Help Viewer, reveals another screen of
information (jump), pops-up a small window of information
(pop-up), or initiates a command of some kind (macro).

"What a wonderful day we've had. You have learned
something, and I have learned something.
Too bad we didn't learn it sooner.
We could have gone to the movies instead."
