Help | Kepler Documentation says:

"All listed demos are in the
KeplerData/workflows/module/outreach-2.X.Y/demos/getting-started"

That path name is difficult to find as it is long and there is a
"KeplerData/modules" directory that is confusing.

Also, if I follow the typical pattern of looking at the help file,
opening a demo, then closing the demo and looking at the help file,
I need to retraverse the confusing path hierarchy each time.

To replicate:
1. Help | Kepler Documentation
2. File | Open, then browse through to 
   KeplerData/workflows/module/outreach-2.X.Y/demos/getting-started"
3. Open the 04-HelloWorld.kar
4. Run the demo and close it.
5. Now, look at the Kepler Documentation page and try to open the next
   demo.  The result is I have to go through the Open dialog again.

This is not very usable and does not promote actually viewing the demos. 
There should be hyperlinks in the text that opens the demos.
