I'm not sure where you are getting these function names, but they're
not correct. If you set it up with customize to work, and say "save
for future sessions" this should be a non-issue. Just remove the
help-browser-function line from your .emacs, and IDLWAVE will default
to the system-wide browser. You only really need this variable if you
want different browsers in IDLWAVE vs. other Emacs stuff.
