Folder and all files on a server on the local area network in accordance with

I am unable to consistently encode hypertext links among five files in one
unstructured book.
Here's how the files are arranged:
NOTE: The .book file and all the target files are "children" of folder
\Abc_Def. File BEGIN_HERE.fm is "sibling" of folder \Abc_Def and is to contain
links to all four targets.
Folder \Abc_Def
File dir_Abc_Def.book
File targetA.fm
File targetB.fm
File targetC.fm
File targetD.fm
File BEGIN_HERE.fm
I moved File BEGIN_HERE.fm out of folder \Abc_Def because a recipient of the
informational product (portable document format files) wants it that way. I am
using a character tag to constrain both the newlinks and gotolinks to small
amounts of text. Before I moved file BEGIN_HERE.fm out of folder \Abc_Def,
crossreferences among all files worked flawlessly.
My latest attempt has been to specify named destinations (for example, newlink
dir_About.fm) and jumps to named destinations (for example, gotolink
dir_About.fm).
In the source .fm files, these jumps work only a small part of the time. In
the deliverable .pdf files, they don't work at all.
