Rekha:

You'll need to include the calling application in your exec string to
have a chance at this working.  Windows knows what to use on .hlp
files because it can read the registry.  Java doesn't have access to
that.  Try something like:  "c:\windows\winhelp.exe help.hlp" at a DOS
box.  If that works, then use that string in your Runtime.exec() call.

If you see something that looks like an opinion up there,
it's mine and mine alone.
