It won't have been introduced to the Frame doc by WebWorks - WebWorks
doesn't modify the source files.

The number in the first instance looks like a topic ID, which would allow a
specific topic in the Help to be mapped to a part of the application
interface. However, I'm not sure why it has a "2" following the colon with a
space before the rest of the number. The ID numbers in our documents don't
use that syntax. We just create a Cross-Ref and start with the number, with
no spaces.

HTH.

The TOC entry is correct, I think; I ctrl-alt-click it and it drops me to
just the right place in the main documentation file.

I guess I'm not entirely sure. When I view the marker, the type is
Hypertext and points like so:

openObjectId CCppUsersGuide.fm:2 1104242

There are no markers whatsoever on the heading; Frame has picked it up by
its style (heading3). The interesting thing is that some of the other
headings have cross-ref markers like

_Toc421961047

But the numbers don't seem to have any correlation to the markers in the
TOC, so I am not sure whether they were inserted by Webworks or by a prior
documenter. Others have more readable cross-ref markers, but I don't know
Frame well enough to find out what they reference or how to add the same
elsewhere.

Thanks for the tips!
