"?" help-command in linux [message #43688] Mon, 18 April 2005 14:53

Hello

Does anyone know how to control what happens when you use the "?" command in
idl on a linux machine. ...As in...

IDL> ? OPLOT

the default for idl 6.1 is to open up adobe acrobat, which, of course, sucks
for reading the online help. I have the html help installed (for idlwave),
and also xchm (http://xchm.sf.net). I would ideally like xchm to open with
the correct entry whenever I use the ? command.

thanks,
sean
