After you copy the old help files to the new help directory, you can use the
following to call the old routines. I found I had to edit filepath.pro in
version 4 for this to work on VMS.
pro old_help, request
; call old style IDL help system (?) that has been replaced by an X-window only
; help system
; Robert.M.Candey.1@gsfc.nasa.gov; 1995 July 29
if n_elements(request) gt 0 then man_proc, request else man_proc
return
end ; old_help
