Thanks for all the help, Karl.
When I tried this earlier, I did get an "insert text" cursor in the graphic
window, but typing produced no text. I just tried it again and it worked. I'll
chalk that one up to the computer gods toying with me.
I added a text string programmatically using the tip on the IDL website, but it
took me a while to realize that 0.5 is not the center of the window, as it is in
direct graphics. Another IDL 'duh' moment. ;-)

Has a release date for 6.2 been announced?

Using the Print command produces an unscaled view (not fit to page) with a green
background.
An EPS file created using Export appears correct. Any hints on how to export a
image programmatically?
Thanks, Ken Bowman
