I'm tellin' ya. Signing your name is a good thing. :-)
Cheers,

P.S. But recommending people quote from books that
don't officially exist can get you into a LOT
of hot water. Especially with certain publishers. :-(

This is because you provided your name in the message. If all David saw
was "amacphee@...", he'd probably refer you to the "Building IDL

Excelent! I've had a quick look at your xstretch.pro and I think it will
do the trick.
Many thanks; this has been the fastest, most direct solution I have
received to a question in any newsgroup!

I think my XStretch program is made to order. :-)

You will need XColors too, if you want to change color
tables:
