The regular IDL help work. I found out that using absolute path to the
name of the html file used by the keyword BOOK works. It can display
the html page but I want to use a adp file where the left part is the
menu and the right part contains the various html pages. Doing so give
me the 'socket error message'

In case someone is wondering about how to fix that issue, I contacted
ITT and IDL 8.0 does support anymore the .adp files. html is the way
to go now.
