Documentation Header

The command C-c C-h inserts a standard routine header into the buffer, with the usual fields for documentation (a different header can be specified with idlwave-file-header). One of the keywords is ‘MODIFICATION HISTORY’ under which the changes to a routine can be recorded. The command C-c C-m jumps to the ‘MODIFICATION HISTORY’ of the current routine or file and inserts the user name with a timestamp.
