; NAME: 
;       xhelp
;
; PURPOSE:
;       Display an IDL procedure header using widgets and the widget manager.
;
; CATEGORY:
;       Widgets.
;
; CALLING SEQUENCE:
;       xhelp, Filename,_extra=ex
;
; INPUTS:
;     Filename: A scalar string that contains the filename of the file
;               to display.  If FILENAME does not include a complete path
;               specification, xhelp will search for the file in
;               the current working directory and then each of the
;               directories listed in !PATH environment variable.  The
;               ".pro" file suffix will be appended if it is not supplied.
;
; KEYWORD PARAMETERS:
;       Ceux de xdisplayfile
;
; OUTPUTS:
;       No explicit outputs.  A file viewing widget is created.
;
; SIDE EFFECTS:
;       Triggers the XMANAGER if it is not already in use.
;
; RESTRICTIONS:
;       None.
;
; PROCEDURE:
;       Open a file and create a widget to display its contents.
