Start the online help by typing ? at the IDL prompt.

Look under 'Alphabetical List of Routines' for ISHFT.

Then back at the main level, look under 'Language Features Quick
Reference' for 'Operators', then 'Boolean Operators'.

Using ISHFT and the Boolean operators, you can do the usual shift and
mask operations to check bits in a byte, integer, or long integer.
