Thank you all for your help on this problem. From the reports I've got it
seems to be a version specific bug that is fixed in 3.5. (I'm
unfortunately running 3.1).

The release notes for V3.5.1 include the following bug correction.

8/25/93
Fixed a bug where if more than one string valued field was
passed into a system procedure or function via the _EXTRA
keyword, all strings would have incorrectly have the value
of the last string, or be the null string.

Also, there was an earlier question about TVRDC. This is a relic of
the old VMS IDL Version 1, where there were separate routines to read
an image display (TVRDC) and to read a plot at the terminal (CURSOR).
In the current version of IDL, TVRDC is an undocumented (and disparaged)
synonym for CURSOR.

Worked fine on a Sun SS10 running SunOS 4.1.3 with IDL 3.5.0 (being
accessed from a Mac IIci using MacX across an ethernet). Care to
provide more details on your setup?

I have the same problem under IDL 3.1.1 on MS-Windows. IDl support was told
about it several months ago.

I hope it's fixed in 3.5

It works under IDL 3.1.1 (SunOs 4.1.3 / Sparcstation)
