Okay, I've been able to solve my problem (with some help, of course).
This is what I found out. If you have a procedure that has crashed due
to a bug or has been stopped by a user interrupt, then IDL/Wave is still
'inside' your procedure and it can't be changed or recompiled until IDL
returns from that procedure.
This was the thing that I didn't know about. At least in PV~Wave, there wasn't
any indication that the 'interpreter' was still in the middle of my routine.
All you (I) have to do is issue a 'RETURN' statement at the prompt, and
then the procedure isn't active anymore and can be re-compiled.
Thank you *very* much,
-Randy
p.s. Kudos to Larry Nittler and Jim Phillips for their timely responses.
