...which there is, of course... ;-) (equally to os2244full.zip which 
you apparently skipped for some reason).

You should consider using the provided installer instead of just 
manually unpacking the file. Not that it updates the paths for you 
(but that shouldn't be necessary if you let the installer to update 
your previous installation in the same directory) but it configures 
the IDE to use the supplied docs at least (note that the creation of 
the help index from the supplied HTML docs takes quite some time 
though).

BTW, the supplied HTML docs cannot be used if installing onto FAT 
with OS/2 due to the 8.3 restrictions (not that I'd expect you to use 
FAT with your OS/2 unless having very good reasons, just for 
completeness sake ;-) ).
