Howdy!
I'm having some problems with PM programming. I'm wondering whether it is 
possible to set the initial position and size of the help window when
it appears. I want it to appear in its full width but half its full 
length when the user calls up the help. I would be extremely grateful if
there's someone who can show me how it is done. Thank you!

I don't know how to do this, but I may be able to help.  Do you get a
window handle back when you launch the help system?  If you do, can
you send the window's frame a WM_RESIZE message?  That may work.

You might try this:

	/*
	 * Tell help to cover the least amount of information
	 */
	WinSendMsg(hwndHelpInstance, HM_SET_ACTIVE_WINDOW, hwndDlg,
					 hwndDlg);
