From EVERYTHING I've seen, I think they only represent two competing
family memebers. What one has one day, the other has the next. But,
I better watch it, or I'll be bombarded with IDL or Wave employed
protectors of "the secret".

Well if this is all you do, you might often run into problems, getting
a message about Wave or IDL not being able to compile an active procedure.
The correct way to recompile a bombed procedure, assuming that you don't
want to debug using the data available at crash time, is
retall (returns from all procedures bringing IDL/Wave back to CL level)
.run procname (or .run procname.pro)
if procname.pro is a file in the search path.
