Folks,
Since this has turned into a Mac support help-line, I have a
question. Person in my IDL class today has a new Mac running
IDL 6.2. She crashed in a widget event handler and couldn't
get out.
I said "Type RETALL". She did, and she *still* couldn't get
out of the event handler code. We had to recompile the program
itself before we could get back to the main IDL level. Is this
normal? Did I miss something? I didn't have time to stop and
ponder this, but it was weird.
Cheers,
David
P.S. And don't even get me started on getting a library
of class routines entered onto the PATH correctly!! Sheesh! :-(

Not enough coffee yet today lead to dropped words in the above, but
everyone can probably interpolate.
The two other X installs I'd tried were Xdarwin and OroboroX. Both had
much slower graphics than Apple's X11.
Here are RSI's (slightly out of date) tech tip on these:

(Note the techtip does not discuss the slower graphics.)
cheers, (and off to Peet's to wake up)
