idlwave-help-mode

idlwave-help-mode is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `idlw-help.el'.


(idlwave-help-mode)

Parent mode: `special-mode'.

Major mode for displaying IDL Help.

This is a VIEW mode for the ASCII version of IDL Help files,
with some extras. Its main purpose is speed - so don't
expect a fully hyper-linked help.

Scrolling: SPC DEL RET
Text Searches: Inside Topic: Use Emacs search functions
Exit: [q]uit or mouse button 3 will kill the frame

When the hep text is a source file, the following commands are available

Fontification: [F]ontify the buffer like source code
Jump: [h] to function doclib header
[H] to file doclib header
[.] back and forth between header and definition
