How to find HTML name of pages
Re: How to find HTML name of pages
The pages in CMSMS are stored in a database - they typically don't have file extensions, unless you're using mod_rewrite and pretty URLs. To link to a specific CMSMS page from another site (if you're NOT using pretty URLs), your link would look something like this:
http://yoursite.com/index.php?page=targetpage // where targetpage is the alias of the CMSMS page
If you're using pretty URLs and/or mod_rewrite, your link could look something like this:
http://yoursite.com/targetpage
http://yoursite.com/targetpage.html // (note that the .html file extension in this URL isn't actually calling an HTML page
http://yoursite.com/index.php?page=targetpage // where targetpage is the alias of the CMSMS page
If you're using pretty URLs and/or mod_rewrite, your link could look something like this:
http://yoursite.com/targetpage
http://yoursite.com/targetpage.html // (note that the .html file extension in this URL isn't actually calling an HTML page

Wow.
For now I only need to redirect donors back to a thanks page within my web site (from a Paypal page). From the choices you gave me, which one would you advise me to go for?

Re: How to find HTML name of pages
for the sake of simplicity, I would redirect to something like
http://yoursite.com/index.php?page=thanks
unless you already have mod_rewrite and/or pretty URLs set up...
http://yoursite.com/index.php?page=thanks

Render the page, open page, look at address bar...

But of course! Why didn't I think of it?! 
Thanks to this I just learned the importance of having good alias pages
