Unfortunatly only the functions & procedures know by the makers of IDL are in this help-tool; there are however frequently used functions & procedures written by others that we would like to add to this help-tool. Is there a way to to do this?
Use the routine MK_LIBRARY_HELP in the IDL User's Library.

This allows one to create the .HELP files, but what if you are not allowed
to add to the IDL_DIR/help directory? e.g. on a cluster where you are not
the main user of IDL, how can I add .HELP entries (for use with ?)
for me to use, but not for everyone to have to see. Can I set something
somewhere to not only look in the IDL distribution HELP directory, but also
one of my own (or one which applies to a certain package, etc.)
thanks,
