    How about this here:

$ DIRECTORY SYS$LOGIN:TED.HELP

Directory DISKF:[MADDALONE]

TED.HELP;1

Total of 1 file.
$
$ TYPE RESOLVE_PATHNAME.C
#include <stdio.h>
#include <x11/Xm.h>
#include <X11/Xlib.h>

main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    Widget         toplevel;
    XtAppContext   ctx;
    String         filename;

    toplevel = XtAppInitialize(&ctx,"Ted",NULL,0,&argc,argv,NULL,NULL,0);

    filename = XtResolvePathname(XtDisplay(toplevel),NULL,"TED",
            ".HELP","SYS$LOGIN%:%N%S",NULL,0,NULL);

    if (filename)  {
        printf("Filename: %s\n",filename);
        XtFree(filename);
    } else {
        printf("Filename not found\n");
    }

    exit(0);
}
$
$ RUN RESOLVE_PATHNAME
Filename: SYS$LOGIN:TED.HELP
