  This is another excellent example of the shoddiness of OWL/PM, and the
  shameful way that it treats Presentation Manager as if it were Windows.

  The WinHelp function as prototyped is the way that _Windows_ invokes
  help (the function is implemented inline for Windows further down
  WINDOW.H).

  Help in Presentation Manager is more sophisticated (and in many ways
  better, because most of the "context-sensitive" processing is done
  without you having to code anything -- you just have to provide a table
  that maps between your application's windows and the help panels in your
  help file).

  Since OWL/PM is clearly deficient in this area, you'll have to implement
  help by calling the system API directly.

  It isn't hard.  I'll outline the basics in the next message.
