     NAME
          DtHelpSetCatalogName - assign the name of the message
          catalog to use for help services

     SYNOPSIS
          #include <Dt/Help.h>

          void DtHelpSetCatalogName(char *catFile);

     DESCRIPTION
          The DtHelpSetCatalogName() function provides an interface
          for applications to set the name of the message catalog file
          that the help services library uses at runtime.  This
          message catalog contains all strings, messages and button
          labels used in the help widgets that can be localized.

          The catFile argument specifies the name of the message
          catalog file that the help services library accesses at
          runtime.  See catopen(3C) for more information on the
          message catalog naming and location semantics for various
          environments.

     RETURN VALUE
          The DtHelpSetCatalogName() function returns no value.

     APPLICATION USAGE
          The DtHelpSetCatalogName() function is only required if
          applications deliver localized online help information into
          a non-localized CDE desktop environment.  In this case,
          applications must use this function and give the help
          message catalog file a unique name in order to avoid
          collision with other clients using and localizing their
          online-help user interface.  In order for this call to
          properly affect the help services library, this call must be
          made prior to creation of any help widgets.
