I'm having a problem getting the Help Package in OW 2.0 to work.
I've generated a tiny test program which incorporates the code examples
of the O'Reilly Xview manual (Rev 2), Chapter 21, but all it does
is beep when I press the help key.  Has anyone gotten this thing to
work?  The program is so tiny, I'll include the share file right here.
As well as the code shown, I've tried all "reasonable" varients; e.g.,
putting the '.info' file in /usr/lib/help, in $OPENWINHOME/lib/help,
etc., but all to no avail.

Thanks for any insights!
