For future reference, the newsgroup comp.lang.idl is for the Interface
Definition Language. This is a question for the comp.lang.idl-pvwave
newsgroup, which I see you've also posted to.

Uh, switch back to PV-Wave, where you COULD do this

P.S. Let's just say RSI believes in commitment.
And I believe it in too. Especially since I have the
only book out that shows you how to write programs that
work the same in either of these two environments. :-)
