Hi JD,
thanks for your help. 'C-c C-d C-c' followed by a number identifying
the session could solve the problem you mention. Also 'C-c C-d C-c a'
could compile in all (idle) sessions.... if my recompiled code is
better, then why not have it available to all sesions....

Yes I do like it!

As far as IDL-IDL bridbe, it seems to involve objects... I have never
gone that deep into IDL and use it mainly as a command line image
analysis system... no gui, no objects... it does look interesting
however, and if I can figure out how to use it interactively from the
commandline then I will definetly give it a shot.

Thanks again, Gianguido
