I used MobiPocket to convert my manuscript to an HTML file. I added the "start" and "toc" HTML hooks to the HTML file. The manuscript includes a hyperlinked table of contents. The table of contents works in Kindle for PC and in Kindle Previewer. Now, how do I make a TOC.NCX file?

What if I set the table of content hierarchies in Calibre to "Chapter" (TOC level 1) and "Scene" (TOC level 2). Will Calibre see my hyperlinked table of contents and build me a toc.ncx file? If Calibre builds the file, where do I find it once the build is complete? May I then copy the toc.ncx file to the MobiPocket "My Publications" folder and then build a second prc file? My goal is a manuscript acceptable to the Kindle people at Amazon. Thanks.
