Hey, I wonder if you could request some of the functions *I've* been
trying to get implemented - my requests always seem to get lost in the
post :(

I'm afraid I requested that PRODUCT function. Like TOTAL, only with
multiplication. It makes *my* life a bit faster and easier. Sorry about
that.

I'd be learning about square bracket syntax for
array subscripting if I were you. :-)
Either someone turned the STRICTARR compiler option on
while you weren't looking (I'd have a word with your
office mate), or IDL has got it into its head that
PRODUCT is a function. In either case, square brackets
will straighten you out.
Cheers,
David
