+TeXtoIDL:
+
+The purpose of the TeXtoIDL routines is to make it simple to use Greek letters, 
+subscripts and superscripts in making labels for plots in IDL. This is accomplished by 
+allowing the user to use TeX control sequences for Greek letters and special 
+symbols and for sub/superscripts. The TeX control sequences are simple and easy 
+to remember, especially if you already use TeX for writing papers (for those 
+unfamiliar with TeX, an explanation of that notation is below). The translation 
+is done for either vector or PostScript fonts. 
+
+IDLWAVE:
+This package has been installed as part of Emacs to enable it to understand 
+IDL syntax, which is very useful when writing IDL scripts. A number of lines 
+should be added to your ~/.emacs file, and IDLWAVE online information which can 
+be viewed with `M-x idlwave-info', or follow the Menu entry in the IDLWAVE menu. 
+IDLWAVE also enables running an IDL shell within emacs - type:
+
+        M-X idlwave-shell
+
+which runs your settup defined by the environment variable IDL_STARTUP.
