Scott, While I am not completely familiar with all of Panorama's specific needs, I am assuming it can deal with well constructed SGML. If this is the case, then your Entity Declaration is where you are going wrong. <!ENTITY accessuse PUBLIC "-//(..text snipped...)//TEXT (URL of HTML document)//EN" NDATA HTML> Where you have the string "URL of HTML document", you should have a name unique in the server environment in which you are working for the document. For example: <!ENTITY accessuse PUBLIC "-//(..text snipped...)//TEXT (The Blah-blah-blah document)//EN" NDATA HTML> And then following the ..//EN" and before the "NDATA HTML" You should have the URL for the document to which you are providing a link: <!ENTITY accessuse PUBLIC "-//(..text snipped...)//TEXT (The Blah-blah-blah document)//EN" "URL://myserver.edu/blah3.htm" NDATA HTML> It is this latter piece of information that will supply the information Panorama needs to find the specified file. (There are a couple of other ways of doing it, but I would try to make this work before using more complex, more robust approaches. I hope this helps.
