At the shell prompt, set the IDL_ONLINE_HELP_HTML_BROWSER environment variable. The syntax for doing this will depend on your shell, but will most likely be similar to one of the below.
Assume you use the Firefox browser, and that the command to launch Firefox is present on the UNIX path (that is, you can launch the browser by typing firefox
at the shell prompt):
For C shell (and other shells that use C shell syntax, such as tcsh
):
setenv IDL_ONLINE_HELP_HTML_BROWSER firefox
For the Bourne shell (and other shells that use Bourne shell syntax, such as the bash
and korn
shells):
IDL_ONLINE_HELP_HTML_BROWSER=firefox
export IDL_ONLINE_HELP_HTML_BROWSER
Note
You may want to set the IDL_ONLINE_HELP_HTML_BROWSER environment variable in a startup file (.cshrc or .profile , for example); its value will be used if you open a web browser using IDL's ONLINE_HELP routine. |

Change directories to the
bin
subdirectory of the IDL installation directory and launch the ittlicense
program. For example, if you installed in the default location, you would issue the following commands at the shell prompt:
cd /usr/local/itt/idlxx/bin
ittlicense
where idl
xx
is the name of your IDL directory (idl70
, for example).
