I don't know how to do that off-hand, although I think there is
a way.
I find that I am using MK_HTML_HELP to make help files
of everything I'm interested in. Then I always have my
own hypertext links. It seems like I've always got
Netscape running anyway. All the IDL library routines
conform to the format required to get them into
an html document.
I even have the IDL Programming Tips handy. I must have
referred to them three times already today. I just can't
seem to remember everything I write down there. :-)
Then, if I need something else I just jump over to Russ
Welti's or Ray Sterner's site, where they have
everything that I haven't written down documented. This
way I'm covered and I never forget anything.
Now, were did I see that thing about IDL 3.0 help windows....
Cheers,
David
