I know the feeling :-)

I've not made the leap to IDL 8 yet, but I had the same issue when we
moved to 7.1
My solution, inelegant though it may be, was to run version 6.4's help
instead, as I still had both versions available to me.

This may not be ideal with this upgrade as there seems to be a
substantial difference in functionality between versions 8 and 7,
which was certainly not the case between 7 and 6.

Regards,
Chris
