Sorry about that! Here are two handy functions I use. The first is
defined() and the second is defined_and_equals(). The second one uses
the first one, and it lets you catch two birds with one net. Trust me,
it comes in handy sometimes.

; IDL function: defined.pro
; For a given input variable, this function returns
; 1b if the variable is defined
; 0b if the variable is undefined
; -------------------------

function defined, a
return, (size(a, /type) NE 0)
end

;-----------------------------
; 12/11/03
; IDL function: defined_and_equals.pro
;
; This boolean function does two things.
; The doesn't know if the argument is defined, but want to know:
; if it IS defined, then does it equal arg2?
;-----------------------------
;-

function defined_and_equals, a, b
return, defined(a) ? (a EQ b) : 0b
end
