subject: Help for Help for OWL/2

Need some help with Help files. I've written a program with BC 2.0 for OS/2
using OWL. Then I wrote the HLP file and compiled it with IPFC. Now I want to 
be able to load the help file.

The program runs fine. But I can't get it to load the help file. I tried using
the TWindow::WinHelp(const char *, UINT, ULONG) member to load the help file
with the appropriate values, but while the function is prototyped in the 
appropriate OWL header file, it doesn't appear to be implimented in any of the 
LIB files, at least not in that format :(  

Then I thought I'd try it the hard way, with the various functions like 
WinHelpInstance()...etc. 

when I included the following:

#define INCL_HELP
#include 

I got a stream of redifinition errors. grrrr.....

So how do I call up a help file inside an OWL program? All I want it to do
is open up the help file to the Contents....
