I'm not defending the interviewer -- who sounds like a fool with
communication problems -- but I'm guessing that the idea behind the
question isn't as bizarre as some of you think. I suspect it just wasn't
phrased clearly or accurately. 

It's been a while since I used RoboHelp, but I recall that creating an
RH project always created a !SSL! folder (inside the parent folder for
the project). The !SSL! folder contained the source files (.htm, .js,
graphics, etc.) for the project, and the rather distinctive name was
always the same. 

I'm guessing that your interviewer was testing your claim to knowing
RoboHelp and just badly muffed the question.
