I have a suite of image display programs that make fair use of the WINDOW_STATE keyword to the DEVICE command, i.e. DEVICE, WINDOW_STATE = x returns a vector containing 1 element for each possible window, and a 1 if the window is opened, and a 0 if it is closed. Unfortunately, this keyword is only available for X-windows (VMS & Unix) and Windows, so my programs fail when I try to run them on a MAC. Does anyone know if there is an alternate way of getting this information under Macintosh IDL? Thanks, --Wayne Landsman landsman@mpb.gsfc.nasa.gov
