[Framers] Recommendations for RoboHelp training

[Jeff Coatsworth]

IIRC, I think the link method for FM-to-RH was dropped in RH2019; it's import-only now. (I've always been an importer, so I didn't notice much about the linking bit changing)

If you do decide to go with RoboHelp, last I checked Adobe has still
not documented how to link FrameMaker source to RoboHelp (i.e. to use
RH as an add-on rather than importing FM source). I created this as a
model. See fm_link_to_rh.pdf for detrailed instructions.
