You need the program that runs the "widget" program above.
Something like this:
PRO JUNK
widget
END
I put this program at the end of my "widget" program (called
PROCESS in my example), then typed exactly these commands:
.Compile PROCESS
Resolve_All
Save, /All, Filename='junk.sav'
Viola! Click on the file JUNK.SAVE and it works like
a charm! :-)
Cheers,
David

I think you need a procedure MAIN in your program, which idlrt then
executes.

I had similar problems. What I found ot be the problem was my program did not
have everything resolved, and would do a source comfile when run on the
missing routine. The way to check this is start idlde clean, restore your
wid.sav, and run it. If you get a %compile message in the output screen, that
is your problem, and you will need to add a .compile for each one that may
come up. The reason behind this is the idlrt cannot comple .pro files.
Good luck, and let me know if this worked :)
