Not being able to double-click to run the save file (Linux) I may be
missing something, but the save file works if it is restored from within
IDL for me, with or without the call to XManager.
Could it be the /no_block keyword that's stopping it counting when you
double-click to run it?
Chris.

Note that if I comment out the XManager call, TEST2 works
perfectly as a save file. I actually think I understand this
whole business in the sort of fuzzy, beer-blurry way that you
understand the waitress taking your order is in love with you.
But I'm just finding it hard to explain it to others.
Perhaps I need fresh words. :-)
Cheers,
David
