Hi Alexander,

You are doing better than me. For me, cygstart interprets the anchor
as part of the filename.

$ cygstart file:///www/pages/html401/sgml/dtd.html#inline
Unable to start 'C:\cygwin17\www\pages\html401\sgml\dtd.html#inline':
The specified file was not found.

Have you tried

cygstart.exe 'file:///C:/somepath/doc/ref/chap31.html#X84F59A2687C62763'

(note the single quotes) ?
