Yes, this is IDL 7.0, but I believe I had the problem with 6.4 as well
(after installing Emacs 22).
I had seen the tech tip and did already copy the online_help directory
(didn't help).
Anyway, do you think not finding the help system is responsible for the
problem with space around operators? Doesn't sound like it's related to
me. I have to say I never used the IDL help within Emacs/IDLWAVE
(probably would be a good thing to learn), I always have the IDL help
browser open. At the moment I am mostly concerned about the "spaces
around operators" problem.
Thanks,
Benjamin
