FrameMaker 6 (soon upgrading to 7), Windows NT 4.

I need to save a book to HTML (breaking to new files on headings 1-4) and then create an expandible/collapsible left navigation page in an HTML frame, preferably from a FrameMaker-generated TOC file.

The problem: FrameMaker generates these arbitrary pfg-id numbers that change each time you save as HTML, rather than
anything you can reliably hook onto.

Is there:

(a) any undocumented variable (a la <$paratext>?) for these pgf-id numbers?

(b) any way to get FM to use something else instead of the arbitrary pgf-id -- for example, a <$paratext[+, code]> where code is a special paragraph in which I've entered a specific unique code?

Also, a minor annoyance in FM 6.0 that I hope is gone in 7.0: I used the reference page macros to display "Prev" "Parent" and "Next" links via the Start of Subdoc etc. macros. The links appear, but because the hrefs are to the specific heading rather than just the page (e.g. a href="test1.htm#Pgf-id-31010"), the links are above the top of the window for html pages larger than the browser screen. Is anyone using these?

WWP is not an option here.

Many thanks!
