I was wondering if some kind soul out there could confirm or deny my
observation that the !HELP_PATH system variable is ignored in IDL 3.1.0
under VMS.
I perform the following
$ create/directory [.help]
$ set default [.help]
$ copy idl_dir:[help]routines.help []my_routines.help
$ define idl_help_path 'f$environment("default")
$ idl
IDL> print, !help_path
IDL> ?
And though the !HELP_PATH variable is properly defined, my listing of available
help comes from IDL_DIR:[HELP], ignoring the MY_ROUTINES.HELP file in the
current directory.
Does this "bug" appear under VMS IDL 3.5 as well, and is it a real bug or an
operator error?
Thanks for any assistance,
