The filename part of the name is determined by the server/workstation setting and is fixed. Arguments: Drive - if specified, supplies the drive letter of the drive on which the help file is located. If not specified, the file is assumed to be on a UNC or other path as described by Path. Path - supplies the path component of the location of the help file name. This can be relative to a drive (if Drive is specified) of a complete path component (Drive is not specified). FilenamePrepend - if specified, supplies a string to be prepended to the generated full pathname of the helpfile. This is useful when generating command lines. Filename - receives the full pathname of the help file. The caller must ensure that the buffer is large enough. Directory - if specified, receives the full path of the directory in which the helpfile is located. The caller must ensure that the buffer is large enough. Return Value: None. --*/ { if(Drive) { wsprintf( Filename, L"%s%c:%s\\%s", FilenamePrepend ?
