+ Yep, this is a severe problem.
+ Currently not a single winhelp in programs work, due to interprocess messaging
+ problems.
+ 
+ See also wine-devel archive ~April 2002, thread "Resent: WM_WINHELP, was: Re:
+ Handling of messages above WM_USER...".
+ 
+ I tried to find out how exactly Windows does the communication between
+ WinHelpA() and winhlp32.exe, but I wasn't successful so far.
+ 
+ We really, really need to resolve this now.
