... almost as tacky as following up one's own post 3 minutes after the
first!

I realize now that I can do:

WINDOW, /FREE, COLORS=8, XPOS=-100, YPOS=-100, XSIZE=1, YSIZE=1

and I won't see the window that I subsequently WDELETE, but it's
still tacky! Any suggestions that get away from this completely?

Cheers,
