Bob,

I did as follows and it doesn't work. It opens the browser to the URL without the 
#HotKeys added to the end of the URL.

    AnsiString UrlStr = "file://" + ExtractFilePath(Application->ExeName) + 
"Help/1_Introduction.htm";
    AnsiString Param = UrlStr+"#HotKeys";
    ShellExecute(NULL,"open",UrlStr.c_str(),Param.c_str(),0,SW_SHOWDEFAULT);

Any other ideas?
