I think, the answer depends on the OS and on the browser. For Windows
I can say the following: I can start the IDL 8 Help with Firefox,
which is not my default browser, by the following Command from the
IDL 8 Workbench or Console:

spawn,'"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" '+ $
'file:///"'+!dir+'/help/online_help/IDL/idl.html"',/noshell,/nowait

HTH, Heinz

P.S.: May be, other browsers prefer a different Syntax:
spawn,'"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" '+ $
'"file:///'+!dir+'/help/online_help/IDL/idl.html"',/noshell,/nowait
Firefox does the job with both of them. I don't know what is "right".
