Hi Brian,

See the FILES$ (fOpenÂ…) function in the Reference Manual.  This will allow the
User to locate your HelpViewer, if it has been moved or is not located in your
Application Folder, which is where it probably should be located, and to which
you have access with the SYSTEM(_appVol) Function.  You don't even need to
know the name of the user's hard drive.  You'll have to check out Appendix A
to see how to use the file name and refNum.

HTH,

Joe Wilkins
