How to Launch a program

You can run programs from within your Help file. A program can be launched by creating a hotspot link using a word, phrase or graphic reference (bmc, bml or bmr). Select the text or graphic reference using the left mouse button, then choose To Program... command from Link menu. You will be presented with a Link to Program dialog box requesting the program details. Enter the program name or choose it browsing. After pressing OK the selected text will become a hotspot, appearing green and underlined. The cursor pointer becomes a handshape when going over a hotspot and in a bottom window the destination topic title appears.
