I have followed the instruction and now I get idlwave-help-.... from
my emacs. However I feel still a dummy, cos I haven't yet manage to
call help for a certain command.
In acrobat I was doing ex ?fltarr .... what should I do here in emacs?
I have tried to select idlwave-help-menu, but nothing happens :(

Anyhow, this is how it looks my .emacs file right now ...

(setq load-path (cons "/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp" load-path))

(autoload 'idlwave-mode "idlwave" "IDLWAVE Mode" t)
(autoload 'idlwave-shell "idlw-shell" "IDLWAVE Shell" t)
(setq auto-mode-alist
(cons '("\\.pro\\'" . idlwave-mode) auto-mode-alist))
(setq idlwave-help-browser-function 'firefox-browse-url)
