Very shabby indeed.

For those of you who use Emacs and IDLWAVE, I'm putting the finishing
touches on an IDL v5.5 update to the online help, which incorporates
most of the updates to 5.5 as listed in "What's New". You'll get all
the correct keyword completion, uniform access to the new routines added
(like CPU ;), and even modified and new keyword/argument documentation
"in-place" in the online help. It's a text-based help system directly
converted from IDL's PDF help files, but it's *very* fast and insanely
convenient.

For those of you who don't use Emacs and IDLWAVE... maybe now's the time
to consider it.

For those of you who think Emacs is that old video format that lost out
to VHS in the 80's, nothing to see here.
