I'm writing a PM application and would like to use the Help Manager 
facility in OS/2 1.21.  I've read the section on Help Manager in
Volume 4 of the MS OS/2 Programmer's Reference several times,
and I'm just not getting it.  A quick scan through the sample files 
that came with the SDK doesn't reveal anything that looks too 
useful, either.  So I was wondering if there's some kind soul out 
there who could either answer some questions about how I set things
up to use Help Manager or, even better, send me some example code.

I'd be eternally grateful, and my application would be a lot 
spiffier.  Thanks in advance.

The IBM OS/2 toolkit (1.2, 1.3) has an example in \toolkt12\c\samples\pm\help1
subdirectory. The help manager has also appeared in the IBM Personal
Systems Developer magazine (see your IBM rep for a subscription). Or
you can get the "OS/2 Notebook" by Microsoft Press (Dick Conklin, Ed.)
pg 98 has an article entitled "Online Help for PM Applications"

Hope this helps.
