## Comments:

      Use the HELPPATH and LANG environment variables to specify the location
      and language of the help files respectively. The default path is ../help
      and default language is EN (english).
      There is also the PAGER environment variable, which can be used to set
      an alternative program for displaying text help files. Calls to fasthelp
      will divert text files to the PAGER program.
      See SET for more information on setting environment variables.
      Fasthelp is also named "FSUITE" or "FSUITE04" or "FS04de" (german) or
