I'm writing a PM application and would like to use the Help Manager facility in OS/2 1.21. I've read the section on Help Manager in Volume 4 of the MS OS/2 Programmer's Reference several times, and I'm just not getting it. A quick scan through the sample files that came with the SDK doesn't reveal anything that looks too useful, either. So I was wondering if there's some kind soul out there who could either answer some questions about how I set things up to use Help Manager or, even better, send me some example code. I'd be eternally grateful, and my application would be a lot spiffier. Thanks in advance. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Mark Gleaves cmdglv@pmvax.weeg.uiowa.edu "News burst on us like meridian splendour on a blind man.

The help manager has also appeared in the IBM Personal Systems Developer magazine (see your IBM rep for a subscription). Or you can get the "OS/2 Notebook" by Microsoft Press (Dick Conklin, Ed.) pg 98 has an article entitled "Online Help for PM Applications" Hope this helps. Michael R.
