Good. That's got to work before anything else will.

O.k. I'm starting to grasp at straws. But try customizing the variable,
rather than setq'ing it.

M-x customize-variable <ret> idlwave-help-browser-function <ret>

try "browse-url-firefox" in the value, then use the state button to save it.

If this works, and brings up the help menu when doing idlwave-context-help
(also known as: "M-?"). in a firefox browser, we have the idlwave help stuff
setup correctly. Then you'll just have to try to get the lynx command

You say that you got the browse-url to work with lynx-emacs, so I'm going to
guess (I don't have lynx).

that if you customize the idlwave-help-browser-function to be
"browse-url-lynx-emacs"

You should get the behavior you are looking for.

Let's see what happens.
