Hi All,

A while ago I got the WorkSet/2 package (gotta love those promotional deals :-)
and just today got around to playing with it.  I went through the tutorial
fine, except when I got to the part about moving the cursor over printf and
typing ctl-h (in EPM) to get help for it.  

Well, I was puzzled, since the install program had put the environment
variable 

SET HELPNDX=DDE4.NDX+EPMKWHLP.NDX 

(or something like that) into my config.sys for me when I had installed it some-
time ago.  

I played around a bit and finally got the online help to work by putting the
full path names of the two files in question into that environment variable
and restarting.  For the record, I had installed to drive d, but left all other
options alone.

I don't know if this was a known bug before I found it, but if it wasn't, it is
now.  If it was, is there a fix (in the form of a CSD) I can apply to correct
this?
