How to solve H#3.5 ?

[Henri-FR]

Hello,

H#3.5 is a 7 moves solution as 1... Bb6 2.Sf6 Bd4 3.Sxd3 Bc3 4.Sxe5 Bxe5#

I try with H#3,5 doesn't work.
If white start option in helpmate it give a solution in 6 moves (for H#3) or 8 moves (with H#4)

The Popeye instructions doesn't explain the way to go.

Can you help?

Sincerly

Henri
