EPM Ctrl-h doesn't work on data types?

I am trying to use Ctrl-H to access help on library functions in EPM.
When I put the cursor on printf, and type Ctrl-H, I get the message:

Help index EPMKWHLP.NDX not found

I managed to fix that problem by adding d:\toolkt20\book to my DPATH.
(I usually tell install programs to modify the config.sys file for
me, so I don't know why it wasn't already there.)

Now, Ctrl-H usually works.  However, I tried Ctrl-H while positioned
on some data types (QMSG, HWND), and get the help for operator!=
instead.

Otherwise, though, it's been really neat.  It works on most function
names.  It didn't work on printf(), I got "Topic not found", but it
did work on Win functions, and that is much more important to me.

It even worked on message names like WM_PAINT.  Thanks, IBM! ;->

But why doesn't it work on data types?  That's pretty important, too.
