Urg, I messed up the version number. The version of idl running on the alpha is 3.6.1a not 4.3 like I stated before. Further testing shows that the idl 4.0 pickfile running on the sun works just like the idl 3.6 on alpha. > Hi, > I am moving some code from idl 4.3 to idl 5.0.3 and I have run into a problem > with pickfile, or dialog_pickfile as it is now apparently called.
