My first thought on reading this question was that
this would certainly flush all the PV-Wave users
out of hiding. But now, seeing that Andy has had
to reply three times to his own post, I'm not sure
there *are* any PV-Wave users in hiding. :-(

Perhaps it's time we voted to change the name
of this group. Since the Cobra people left, we
can probably get the old comp.lang.idl name
back for a song. :-)

Anyway, I don't know jack about PV-Wave anymore.
But I do remember looking at the widget interface
once and thinking, "Wow. This is sure more complicated
than IDL!" (I'm sure it is *much* more sophisticated,
however.) In any case, I don't remember seeing any
way to pass something like an info structure around
in widget programs. I suspect that data has to be
passed in Common blocks.

But, as I say, I really don't know the first thing
about it. I just feel badly that someone is suffering
mental health problems and we just all stand around
gawking. :-(

Cheers,

David
