I have a project with many FORTRAN and C++ source files, and would like to
display the source code on my web page and if possible have the code syntax
highlighted.

suggests use of the <code> tag

If you don't like the default font or background, you can always add a style for <code> in the <head> section
e.g.
<style type="text.css">
code {font: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: aqua;}
</style>
 
Here is what I've done, I created a web page with a bulleted list of the
FORTRAN and C++ source files I have in a directory, and each bulleted item
has a hyperlink to an .htm file where I wrapped the source code with the
<PRE> tag targetted to an inline frame, so I can scroll through the code.

The problem is that I have many files and I don't want to have to create an
..htm file for every source file and just wrap a <PRE> tag around it. I've
tried hyperlinking directly to the source file, but it opens an "Open/Save"
dialog box, which is no good because ultimately the web pages will be
compiled into a .chm HTML Help File.

What I would like to do is to be able to link directly to the FORTRAN or C++
source file and have it displayed inside a scrollable frame, preferrably with
syntax highlighting, without having to create an .htm file for each source
file.

Not possible to do as you want, you have to create the HTML page and format it for each file.
