Thanks for mulling it over.  To be specific with my terminology, the method I had used to create what I'm calling hypertestlinks in my FM 6 files was: 

Special > Insert > Crossreference, then select the heading/section name to be inserted as the cross reference (destination text), and select the cross reference format, then click Insert.  That action places a marker to the left of the destination text. 

The problem comes up when I then select the origination and destination text, and copy and paste it into a clean, blank file.  I want that same linking mechanism to work in the "daughter" FM 6 file.  And it does work -- meaning, Control-Alt-Click works fine on the link while I'm still just in Frame.  Once I save that FM file to PS and distill it to PDF, the link "breaks" -- I get a flash of white-to-black action on the link, but no "sending to" the destination page. 

Thanks again.
