Hello, all.

I want to customize IDL's online help.

According to "IDL User's Guide", the system variable "!HELP_PATH"
indicates the directory that contains help file for online help.
But, this system variable is somewhat strange.

When executing the HELP command,
IDL> help,!HELP_PATH

help,!HELP_PATH
^
% Not a legal system variable: !HELP_PATH.

When I try changing this system variable,

IDL> !HELP_PATH=!HELP_PATH + "~/idl/help"

!HELP_PATH=!HELP_PATH + "~/idl/help"
^
% Not a legal system variable: !HELP_PATH.

!HELP_PATH=!HELP_PATH + "~/idl/help"
^
% Not a legal system variable: !HELP_PATH.

How can I change the system variable, "!HELP_PATH" ?
I use IDL version 3.0
