I agree it's cool, but in 20 years of IDL programming I don't
recall ever thinking "that's something I could REALLY use!"
But, I'm keeping an open mind since I can't close the darn
thing. :-)
Cheers,

I usually make the Debug view smaller to save space, but there is one
cool thing that you can do with it while debugging. It displays the
call stack when your program stops -- if you click on one of the
routines in the call stack then you can examine the variables at that
level in the variables view.

Yikes! That's a big file. Better make a note to clean that out
periodically, or I'll be looking for an even bigger hard drive. :-(
Thanks,

Look in .metadata/.log in your workspace folder
mine is C:\Documents and Settings\hradivp\workspace\.metadata\.log

I still haven't found the error log, but after installing
and removing IDL 7.0 4-5 times, I've finally found the source
of this error.
Apparently, you MUST have a Debug View in either your IDL
or Debug Perspective or IDL will throw this error. I don't
really understand what this Debug View tells me that I don't
know already, so I've been trying to close it in a desperate
attempt to get more useable real estate on my display. I guess
I'll have to live with it somewhere.
Cheers,
David
