Hi,

Save topics ("pages") in some kind of a database.

Then user click a hyperlink, OnJump event occurs. Load the target document

to the same editor.

There is, of course, a problem of saving. The topic contained hyperlink can

be modified, and then user goes to another topic, changes must be saved

somewhere.

I can suggest the following solution: create a temporal copy of the opened

database. Make all changes in this copy. Then user choose to save changes,

copy this temporal database into the original one. If user leaves without

saving, just delete this temporal database.
