Having trouble following you here. Try this. Open a file named foo.pro.
In it, type:

a=convol(

and with the cursor after the "(", hit M-?. You should have a browser
popup to the CONVOL page, or a message about problems Emacs is having
opening a browser. Have you actually installed w3m? It doesn't come with
Emacs by default (and requires an external command-line tool). You
can configure your default browser like M-x customize [RET]
browse-url-browser-function [RET] and try the various methods until you
find one which works. Then just "save for future sessions" and you should
be good to go.
