Folks (and Mike), I ran into an unusual problem today. I was running IDL 8.1 in front of a client, naturally, and XStretch failed with the message: % Keyword DIMENSION not allowed in call to: MOMENT The traceback lead me to the VARIANCE command, and FILE_WHICH pointed me to the MOMENT program in the IDL 8.1 distribution (where VARIANCE was coming from, too), which upon inspection certainly did have a DIMENSION keyword defined for it. Say what!? It turned out that a compiled version of MOMENT was coming from the IDLDOC 3.4.1 save file. I found it with HELP, /SOURCE: MOMENT C:\IDL\idldoc-3.4\idldoc-3.4.1\idldoc.sav I'm not sure what to do about this, except do all my documentation work late at night, after work. :-) Cheers, David -- David Fanning, Ph.D. Fanning Software Consulting, Inc.

I'd just like to reiterate what Wayne said the other day. I really appreciate all the work you have done, and continue to do, to make this available to us. It is really amazing software. Thanks!
