Here's how we get access to a helpfile:

02 HANDLE PIC S9(9) COMP-5.
02 HELPFILE PIC X(255).
02 FILLER PIC X VALUE LOW-VALUES.
02 HELPHANDLE PIC S9(9) COMP-4.
02 HELPREQUEST.
05 HELPREQUEST-A PIC S9(4) COMP-5.
05 FILLER PIC X(2) VALUE LOW-VALUES.


COMPUTE SUBCOMMAND = FUNCTION NUMVAL(TOPIC-NUMBER-X).
MOVE "Hwnd" of pow-self TO HANDLE
MOVE 1 TO HELPREQUEST-A.
CALL "WinHelpA" WITH STDCALL LINKAGE USING
BY VALUE HANDLE
BY REFERENCE HELPFILE
BY VALUE HELPREQUEST-A
BY VALUE SUBCOMMAND.
