I am trying to use Help Manager in IBM OS/2 v 1.2. When I
try to initialize my HELPINIT structure, I get a warning
about 'different levels of indirection' which seems to be
associated with the 4th parm (pointer to help table). I
have my coded as MAKELONG (HELP_RESOURCES, 0xFFFF),
HELP_RESOURCES is #define(d) in an included .h file, and
in an .rc script I also have
HELPTABLE HELP_RESOURCES
BEGIN ....
END
When I run this under CodeView and look at the member of the
HELPINIT structure that holds the initialization return code,
it has 8195. I don't see this return/error code in any of the
documentation I have. I am using the MS 1.2 toolkit, IBM's
1.2 OS/2, running on a model 80 PS/2. I would really appreciate
any hints people may have. Thanks.

If I recall correctly, the first hex digit of a return code is the severity of the error (I assume that the error code you listed was in hex). 0 - no error 4 - warning 8 - error This is what IBM typically uses, but I can't be sure without consulting the tech refs. Cheers, Q
