Documentation

A single character string used to start abbreviations in abbrev mode.

Possible characters to choose from: ~`% or even ?. . is not a good choice because it can make structure field names act like abbrevs in certain circumstances.

Changes to this in idlwave-mode-hook will have no effect. Instead a user must set it directly using setq in the init file before idlwave.el is loaded.
