First of all, thanks Mark for your answer to my question about setting
the scroll position in wwtext. I have been programming in PV-WAVE for
eight years now without really being aware of the Tips database. I'm not
sure why.

I always have, mainly because I have no clue about motif programming.
However, now that I have been doing widget programming in IDL there is a
lot of things annoyingly missing from the ww layer in Pv-WAVE.

Of course, I was hoping for a method of setting the WWTEXT scroll
position that would work on windows as well. I am in a weird position
of only ever having used PV-WAVE on Unix, but trying to port some of my
code to windows (for an overseas colleague), but not actually having a
Wave license on Windows. Thus, I am sending my colleague programs,
asking him to test them and then debugging by trial and error.

How about someone who learned to program using PV-WAVE?

This sounds interesting; what the hell are you talking about?

Cheers,
