I appologize in advance if this is an obvious
question/answer. I can't seem to find out how to do this.

I have a document (.doc and/or .pdf) stored in a
sharepoint portal server which I can view with the
dashboard. What I'd like to do is this: from an external
browser and website, have a html link that when clicked
will display the document to the user.

If this can be done, what are the steps? Any help would
be greatly appreciated.
Thanks...

Each document stored has its own URL so you just need to refer to that URL,
e.g. http://portal/Company/Shared%20Documents/Test.doc or
http://portal/sites/TestSite/Shared%20Documents/Wibble.xls

You should be able to find the URL by navigating to the document library
that contains the document and then right-click on the document & choose
Copy Shortcut.
