    Hello, I am an IDL beginner and I have been referred to the IDL Reference Guide (I'm following Bowman's Intro to Programming and he refers to it a lot). I have been able to find the .pdf Reference Guide for older versions of IDL (5.4) but nothing for more recent versions. I've read online that IDL 8.0 didn't include all the old help documentation when it first came out, but this is all from 2010. Does anyone know if a Reference Guide exists for 8.0, and if so where I could download it? If not, is there a document with a different name that replaces it for this version? Thanks!

    In IDL 8.0 we moved the pertinent contents of the IDL Reference Guide into the online help. The Reference Guide contained the explanation of IDL routines, so it makes sense to have it in the online help that gets installed with the software. You can search the help by routine name. And the help Table of Contents lists the IDL routines alphabetically or by functional list of routines. Bill
