• Help authors insert ALink names into target topic files using the HTML Help Compiler Information feature.
• An ALink name lookup can also be invoked using the HTML Help ActiveX control ALink command.
• ALink name/KLink keyword lookups are case sensitive. Multiple keywords are delimited by a semicolon.
