Thanks. On my Linux box this doesn't work for an external Web page
but it may not be hard to modfiy. ONLINE_HELP calls a script
online_help_html located in the /bin directory of the IDL distribution.
This script seems to be hard-coded so that only a URL representing a
local file will work, e.g. if the browser is MOZILLA

mozilla -remote "openURL(file:$1)" 2>/dev/null

so presumably 'file' could be replaced by 'http'.
