I am trying to use Help Manager in IBM OS/2 v 1.2.  When I
try to initialize my HELPINIT structure, I get a warning
about 'different levels of indirection' which seems to be
associated with the 4th parm (pointer to help table).  I
have my coded as MAKELONG (HELP_RESOURCES, 0xFFFF),
HELP_RESOURCES is #define(d) in an included .h file, and
in an .rc script I also have
   HELPTABLE HELP_RESOURCES
    BEGIN ....
    END

When I run this under CodeView and look at the member of the
HELPINIT structure that holds the initialization return code,
it has 8195.  I don't see this return/error code in any of the
documentation I have.  I am using the MS 1.2 toolkit, IBM's
1.2 OS/2, running on a model 80 PS/2.  I would really appreciate
any hints people may have.  Thanks.
