   My help setup is not working well for me.  I'd like to have help working for   
   my programs that    
   seem to be calling view - all I get is newview throwing an empty screen with a   
   usage box popup.   
      
   For example, ZOC has, in its directory, g:\zoc4\zoc.hlp which I can open with   
   newview by    
   clicking directly on the file, but invoking help from the menubar does not   
   work.   
      
   I'd like to be able to have one easy way to access help, whether it be for OS2   
   commands, TCP/IP    
   commands and functions, REXX, or the applications as well.   
      
   If I open newview and then click open, I need to specify a directory  (whether   
   it be x:\os2\help or    
   x:\tcpip\help or y:\os2progs\help and then I can select from a list of files;   
   many with cryptic and    
   unintuitive names.   
      
   I don't mind going to an open cmd window and entering HELP REXX or HELP FTP or   
   whatever.   
      
   Is this as good as it gets?
