visual studio .net documentation : Launch Help with a specific topic

Can one lauch the VS .NET Help system with a specific topic?

I teach a couple of .NET classes and would like to put a button on a PPT
slide that takes me directly to a specific help system topic in the document
explorer. I can use the "url" but that opens up IE Explorer with the help
topic but not the entire system help (document explorer). Is this possible?
If so how?

Similarly I would like to open up the .NET IDE at a specific line number. I
suspect I could write a macro that would take me where I wanted, can I lauch
the IDE and execute a macro? With parameter?

Any assistance would be appreciated.
