Here's a summary of changes to be made to resolve the POINT function
definition problem in user contributed device drivers such as QMS under IDL
2.3.0 and VMS.

1. Change references to the function "POINT" to "GR_PT" in the source code.
POINT is now the name of an internal IDL routine which does something
completely different.
2. Add the line

#include "IDL_DIR:[SOURCE]MSG_CODE.H"

immediately BEFORE the line

#include "IDL_DIR:[SOURCE]EXPORT.H"

These fixes may be part of the next general release, I've been told, but no
guarantees since we're talking about the user-contributed stuff, of course.

Thanks to Ian Evans, Joel Offenberg, Ali Bahrami, and the mystery respondent
from RSI (Steve Richards, perhaps?) for the help.
