How to programmatically fight with WPS:.HLP not shown in view.exe

<< WPVault, x:/NOWHERE, NOTVISIBLE, SHOWALLINTREEVIEW -- Index -- Drag & Drop of .dev and printers >>

IZ: applicable only to Warp 4 (view.exe would not open hlp, use viewhelp.exe).

OTOH, if you can't dblclick on a HLP to open it in the right app, it's because HLP files don't have any pre-assigned association. During installation, OS/2 creates a hidden program object in your Nowhere folder (also hidden) and associates it with *.INF. To access this object's notebook so you can add *.HLP to its associations, run this REXX script (Put this in Boilerspace template):

call ReportRC(SysSetObjectData("","OPEN=SETTINGS"))

[Probably you need to make Nowhere visible first, see x:/NOWHERE and NOTVISIBLE.]
