My problem is observed by staring winhelp directly from the command line
with the help file to open as the first argument.

Fairly sure, as the dialog says error while reading the help file.

Running the command line

wine --debugmsg +relay,+dosfs winhlp32.exe etax2002.hlp

was not terribly helpful. It brought up two desktop windows, one with a
Wine debugger and the other with WINE help. The Wine debugger window
shows

Unhandled exception: wait failed on critical section 0x400f9550
(loader_section in libntdll.dll.so)

The WINE help window shows no messages.

Re-running the same command line without --debugmsg brings up a WINE
help window, but no help file and no error message. Trying to open the
help file using file->open yields no error message and no help file.

I'm unable to go any further with this at this time. I'll use the paper
help for now.

Ben.
