Believe it or not, we finally got an upgrade! Don't worry, I'm still
a fuddy duddy. As far as I'm concerned, 5.2 was a pretty good
release. And, I'm still using round ()'s for array subscripting...

Now, Craig, how in the world would you know this!? Please
don't tell me you are running IDL 5.6. Didn't that just
come out a couple of months ago? Goodness, you are getting
3-4 years ahead of yourself, aren't you. :-)
Cheers,
David
P.S. I just found another nifty feature in IDL 5.6 for
Windows that I can no longer live without. (I realize
the EMACS guys have been doing this since 1935.) Select
a bit of code, go to the Edit menu and select Comment.
Immediately commented out. Same to reverse it. Gosh, my
wrist is getting better and better!
