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 ****pped 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
