usually cv.hlp should be found if it is stored in the same directory as cv.exe.

But there is also a TOOLS.INI file, where one might set:

[cv]
HELPFILES:C:\MSVC\HELP\CV.HLP

I don't know about 4.01, but the 3.14 that I think came with MASM 6.00B depended on a HELPFILES environment variable setting. The original setup created a NEW-VARS.BAT that contained:

SET PATH=C:\MASM\BIN\;C:\MASM\BINB\;<original path here>
SET INCLUDE=C:\MASM\INCLUDE\
SET HELPFILES=C:\MASM\HELP\*.HLP
SET INIT=C:\MASM\INIT\
SET ASMEX=C:\MASM\SAMPLES\


Normally you would copy the contents of NEW-VARS.BAT to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, but you could just as well put them in a normal BAT file and use the BAT file to run CV and pass arguments to it.
