Hello all, I have a series of events in the IDLDE 5.2 WinNT 4.0 that keeps on happening and is driving me crazy. Can someone offer a solution? I have some data processing code that I need to walk through and figure out what is happeneing in some of the steps. So I set a break point. I print out some variables, I plot some images, I hit F8 a couple times, print and plot again. Sometimes when I plot the images and then start typing the focus revets back to my editor and not the command line (which is stupid since I was in the command line in the first place to plot the images). The problem is when I accidentally change my code like this, then unchange it, then try to hit F5 to continue running my processing it tells me "The file <filename.pro> has not been compiled. Compile the file first!" F8 works but not F5. This is a new feature of IDL5.2 because I have always (3 years) done my processing just like this and never had any trouble. If there are better ways to do what I am describing please let me know, because like I said, it is driving me crazy. Lisa Bryan Arete Associates Tucson, Arizona lbryan@arete-az.com
