Howdy,

I have recently done some work in Labview from National Instruments
(www.ni.com). It's really nice software - but the thing I was most
impressed by was the online help. **Very very** nice. NI provides
fantastic hyper-help as well as hosting seemingly endless
tips/code/howto/user_contribution web pages.

It occured to me that I really wish IDL had decent online help (well,
duh!) I think this might be a great time to develop a wish list for
RSI as it heads toward the next release of IDL. I think we all know
how limited the present system is; so we don't need to drag up old
stuff. Rather, I invite readers to offer suggestions for a
constructive wish-list. If you email me your ideas (as well as
posting them here) I will assemble them all and deliver to RSI. Email
address is pemaquidriver@tidewater.net

So here's the question:

What would you like to see for online help resources from RSI?

Here's mine... place links to related topics at the *top* of the
hyperhelp page. Once I have read the description of the
function/procedure I usually know if I need to keep looking. It
would be handier to have the links available without having to scroll
down the page.

Thanks!

Ben
