The OS/2 API help in Quickhelp (Advisor) format is only contained in the MS OS/2 PM toolkit, not in the MS OS/2 PM Softset and also not in the IBM OS/2 toolkit. The IBM toolkit does contain API documentation in PM help format (for the VIEW program coming with OS/2 for the cmd reference), but this format is rather unusable because it cannot be used from inside any reasonable editor (where the Quickhelp format can be used).
