Hi Bruce,
JD Smith addresses this on the idlwave.org web site. There was also
a thread here in the newsgroup at the beginning of February. Stealing
from JD's message then:
ITTVIS made some significant changes to the help system with IDL 7,
which break IDLWAVE's integration with help, and it's ability to find
the routine information shipped with IDL. You can find out more at
this Tech Tip:

We're *hoping* to have everything working again by the next IDL release.
Regards,
Doug
