Oddball problem...
I'm running IDL 5.5a on a redhat 7.2 system.
In IDLDE, the up and down arrow keys don't move the cursor up and down in
the "view" window. The left and right arrows work fine in the view
window. The up and down arrows seem to work fine in all the other
applications that I've tried.
Any ideas?

Normally at our systems this is the same problem. Did you have other
experiences?

I have, in fact, pretty much dumped idlde after spending a few days in
idlwave. Now if I could only find the "let us write the code for you"
menu option :-).
The "really weird" (tm) part (what part of IDL doesn't have some "really
weird" component?) is that once, I accidentally typed idlde and all the
arrow keys worked! Go figya...
Off to learn more about idlwave...
