quote:I'm unclear how that text addresses the problem. There's no baggage folder in the Project Manager for me to right-click in the first place (thanks, RH7 help!) and it's not clear how that would make a difference anyway. When I go to hyperlink some text, none of the options in the "Link to:" pull-down include "baggage file." Is that because there's nothing in the baggage folder in the first place? I can of course select "file" and point to my batch file, which is how it's displaying at all and how the user can right-click it to download it, but like I say that's only half the way there...
References to external elements may not add automatically to the Baggage Files folder. To add files manually:
Select View > Pods > Project Manager. The Project Manager pod displays.
Right-click the Baggage Files folder and select New Baggage File.
Double-click the source file.
Click Yes.

A baggage file is generally a file that you access through a script or some other way that wouldn't normally get included in your project the way an inserted image would.
quote:Quite right, which is why I was hoping that RH7 would have some sort of trick up its sleeve to address that very issue.
If I put a direct hyperlink to something other than an HTML file, the browser may or may not be able to figure out what to do with it.
quote:Yes! This is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for, thank you very much.
A few things you may want to look into are the "Shortcut control" which was designed to run executable files

What sort of file are you linking to?

quote:Nope. Searching for "baggage file" returned 22 topics. None of them define what in the world baggage file means as clearly and succinctly as Mr. McCallum's explanation.
Sorry, I was referencing the X5 help. However, I suspect that entering that search term should have pointed you to a similar topic with an explanation of baggage files

Sure hope you land them safely on the moon.

OK, I'll stay away from your future posts to avoid irritating you.

You said "A variety of things that are far outside the scope of this forum." If it is so far beyond us, I guessed you were trying to get a man on the moon.
quote:Only because what Javascript and ActiveX controls can theoretically do isn't really an RH7-related topic. It's a pointless debate because computer security is more of a philisophical point rather than a useful Q&A for this forum. Either RH7 has a trick up its sleeve or it doesn't. It doesn't, so the question is answered and the topic ceases to be useful for addressing the initial post. Thus, pretty much closed. As far as I'm concerned the only reason this topic still gets posts is for you and me to clarify our thoughts. ;)
It also sounded like a way of saying you didn't want to hear any more on the subject.
quote:No, not at all. I assume no Adobe employee reads here for I don't recall ever seeing an official response. Oddly, there is official response on the Yahoo group HATT, but that forum is not RH-specific, which makes it all the more ironic that the RH's group manager would reply there but not here.
Maybe you are looking at the Adobe logo against my name and thinking I work for them.
