Summary:

The utility program RM.EXE version 1.01 displays the wrong help screen

when invoked with the /help option. The /help parameter is designed to

invoke the Quick Help (QH) utility in order to display the online help

for RM.EXE. Because the wrong utility name was written into the RM.EXE

file, the help screen displayed for RM with /help is the help

information for the EXP utility.

More Information:

This error is due to a problem in the RM.EXE file, rather than being a

problem in the help files; thus there is no easy way to correct this

problem. To access the correct help information for RM, one of the

following methods may be used:

1. Invoke Quick Help directly. Use RM as the parameter to indicate RM

as the item on which to find help (for example, type QH RM at the

DOS or OS/2 prompt).

2. Invoke RM with the /help option (for example, type RM /help at the

prompt) and when the EXP help screen appears, page down to the

bottom where there is a link labeled "RM Command." Select this link

and the RM help screen will be displayed.

3. Help on RM can be accessed from within the Programmer's WorkBench

(PWB) by selecting "Miscellaneous" on the main Help Contents screen

(in the box titled Microsoft Utilities), and then selecting "RM

Command" from the submenu.
