Stranger and stranger.

More info.

I found that there is a ~/.assistant directory, which contains files
like "contentdb.IDL 6.3 Help" and "indexdb.IDL 6.3 Help".

There is also a ~/.qt directory, which may contain files like:
".idl_assistantrc.lock" and "idl_assistantrc"

If I remove "~/.qt/idl_assistantrc" I can get the IDL help to start from
one of the non-primary computers. However, when I try and exit the IDL
help, it hangs and it does not create a new "~/.qt/idl_assistantrc".

If "~/.qt/idl_assistantrc" does not exist, starting IDL help will always
determine that it needs to reinitialize the db files in ~/.assistant

This whole thing is quite annoying as I frequently work on computers
other than the main server and am fond of using the IDL help.

I'm not even sure what the .qt directory is for. I'm not sure what the
.idl_assistantrc.lock file is doing. Behavior seems to be the same
regardless of whether it is there or not.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
