menu IDLWAVE->Documentation->Info

then visit topic "The IDLWAVE Major Mode"->Online Help. This will
tell you what you need to know. Briefly, IDLWAVE gives context based
help. Just hit M-? with the cursor in a variety of places
(functions/keywords/system variables/etc.) and you'll be queued up
instantly. Also available from context help or completion (just right
click anything blue).

I should probably remove the "Launch IDL Help" menu item, or change it
to launch the home page of the IDL HTML help. It was created when
IDL's help system was a papyrus parchment roll with charcoal drawings.
