   It looks like that your environment is not setup right.   
      
   For *.hlp files the enviroment variable named HELP should be set up like:   
      
   SET    
   HELP=H:\MPTN;H:\MPTN\HELP;H:\ecs\help;H:\OS2\HELP;H:\ecs\system\   
   wps\help;H:\ECS\SYSTEM\AMouse;H:\IBMLAN\NETPROG;H:\TCPIP\HELP;H:   
   MMOS2\HELP;H:\PROGRAMS\4OS2;e:\tools\os2\which;E:\UNIMAINT;   
      
   and for onle books the environment variable BOOSHELF should contain all    
   pathes to files *.inf   
      
   SET    
   BOOKSHELF=H:\IBMLAN\NETPROG;H:\OS2\BOOK;H:\ecs\book;H:\EMX\BOOK;   
   :\TCPIP\HELP;H:\MMOS2;H:\PROGRAMS\4OS2   
      
   Yes, the old IBM view.exe is replaced in eCS with newview.exe that gives    
   more comfort. One of this is that it seeks not ony HELP but BOOKSHELF    
   for onlene books.   
      
   So you should check your config.sys for HELP and BOOKSHELF, check them    
   for syntax errors and/or missing pathes.
