I can see now what has happened, the equivalent of
ln -s filename filename
I'd assumed that the link was
ln -s filename /different/directory/filename
Been working too many hours I think! Thanks Perderabo :-)
Cheers

DtLoadInfoLib filename
Load the information library specified by filename, which can be either a relative or absolute file path. If filename is not
specified, dtinfo displays the default information library(s).
Open filename
Load the information library specified by filename. Remaps to DtLoadInfoLib filename.
DtShowInfoAtLoc filename section
Display the section or topic specified by section contained within the infolib specified by filename. filename can be either a
relative or absolute file path. section specifies the information library section in generalized locator format. dtinfo is
started if it is not already running. This corresponds to invoking dtinfo with the -sect option from the command line.
DtPrintInfoAtLoc
Print one or more infolib sections from the desktop. This action is invoked whenever a section or sections is dragged from the
book list window in dtinfo and dropped on the printer icon on the front panel.
These actions can be invoked from an application using the DtActionInvoke(3) function or invoked from a command line using the dtaction(1)
utility.
