Thanks to the generous help of Gail Matthews from Sun and David Forslund
from Los Alamos ACL, I've now got a definitive answer to the problem I
posed in my earlier posting about the Help Package in OW 2.

The problem I was having was that the Help popups on panel items worked
when the F1 key (on a Type 4 keyboard) was pressed, but not when
the Help key was pressed.

The solution (from Gail Matthews) is to put

    PANEL_ACCEPT_KEYSTROKE, TRUE,

in the xv_create() call for each Panel that you want help for.
Then the whole thing works like a charm.  And no, this isn't documented
in the O'Reilly XView manual. (either revision).

This newsgroup and its contributors are the greatest!
