- Hi All,
-
- A while ago I got the WorkSet/2 package (gotta love those promotional deals :-)
- and just today got around to playing with it. I went through the tutorial
- fine, except when I got to the part about moving the cursor over printf and
- typing ctl-h (in EPM) to get help for it.
-
- Well, I was puzzled, since the install program had put the environment
- variable
-
- SET HELPNDX=DDE4.NDX+EPMKWHLP.NDX
-
- (or something like that) into my config.sys for me when I had installed it some-
- time ago.
-
- I played around a bit and finally got the online help to work by putting the
- full path names of the two files in question into that environment variable
- and restarting. For the record, I had installed to drive d, but left all other
- options alone.
-
- I don't know if this was a known bug before I found it, but if it wasn't, it is
- now. If it was, is there a fix (in the form of a CSD) I can apply to correct
- this?
