Help for non-RSI libraries under IDL 4.0 [message #4367]

I've installed version 4.0 of IDL, and the new help system is fairly helpful,
although just as ugly as the MS Windows help browser.

However, there seems to be one terrible thing lacking: it appears to me that
the new help system provides no support for linking other help files from
user-created or downloaded libraries to the new help system. i.e., whereas
in IDL 3.6 and before, help files for the JHUAPL library, etc. where
browsable from the '?' facility, this appears to be no longer possible.

Can someone point out how this can be done? I must be wrong in thinking
that it is no longer possible to browse .HELP files...

thanks,
Eric
