I thought you should know about the pv-wave command .rnew if you don't
already. It will erase common and other variables before starting your
program.If you don't use it your programs may have errors when they run
for the first time.

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.
