All right guys, quit holding back :)

How about this?

IDL> ?Median

would bring up the online hyper help for the MEDIAN function, but

IDL> ??Median

would print the following in the output log or command window,

Result = MEDIAN( Array [, Width] [, /EVEN] )

Just a minimal reminder of the appropriate syntax, etc., for the
procedure. This might get a bit too much for some items... for
example an object with a bazillion properties, but perhaps it could be
fine tuned by method.

IDL> ??IDLgrModel::Rotate

Obj -> [IDLgrModel::]Rotate, Axis, Angle [, /PREMULTIPLY]

Might save a bit of mouse navigation.

And, ah, keep those great ideas pouring in!
