--- Comment #4 from Carlo Bramini <carlo.bramix at libero.it> ---
Well, I tested Windows XP, Windows 7 (32bit and 64 bit executable) and WINE.

* on Windows XP, I renamed my help file from "calc.chm" to "calc2.chm", just to
avoid conflicts with existing file, and I modified temporarily my calculator
with the new file name. HtmlHelp functions received the file name as described
in the first post and it worked fine.

* on Windows 7, it was a bit easier because the Help directory inside
%systemroot% is a bit different: the files are placed in sub-directories, so
the temp change made for XP was not needed. Again, I copied the file calc.chm
and I tested. It worked fine.

* on WINE, with sources downloaded from GIT, it did not work until I wrote the
patch that I have sent into the mailing list.

I could not test other versions of Windows.
At the moment, yes, it seems to me and to other people that HtmlHelp()
functions resolve environment variables. Perhaps, you may find interesting a
test program made by an user for testing the issue here:
