OK, yes it does. But as it happens (you had to see this
coming, I'm sure) I don't *want* to switch now. No reason
for me to, really. I hit a breakpoint and I just want to
step though my code. So I get the prompt, and I answer "no".
But that darn (to me, useless) Debug View gets thrown up
on top of my editor window anyway in the IDL Perspective.
I could live with it if it would just say in the Debug Perspective
where I wouldn't have to look at it. I have to take my hands
off the keyboard, grab my mouse, and kill it before I can
go on.
Is there a way to stop that window from popping up? I
don't really see the point of that window, and I *certainly*
don't need to see it 100 times during the course of a day
of work. :-(
Cheers,
David

OK, this seems to have solved the problem with the Debug View
popping up all the time, too, when there is an error.
Wonderful. It's acting more and more like the old IDL
I used to know and love. :-)
Cheers,
David
