In my document, chap1.xml, I put:

  <para id="foo">la la la</para>
  .....
  <?dbhh topicname="foo" topicid="777"?>


When I run this through xsltproc --nonet 
/usr/share/docbook-xsl/htmlhelp/htmlhelp.xsl mydocbook.xml
I get the following in my alias.h file that's included in my alias.h file:

  foo=ch01.html    (I can't find any use of '#' or a fragment identifier).

In the ch01.html, I find:

  <p><a name="foo"></a></p>

There is no mention of "777" anywhere, either in the alias.h file or the 
intermediate .html file.

So my question is this. How is the "topicid" attribute used inside <?dbhh> 
element? 
What do I have to do to make HTML Help jump to the correct SPOT on the 
page for a topic?

Thanks again in advance.
