Folks,
This looks like another workbench bug to me. I'm working
on my Windows laptop this afternoon. I have configured
my Initial Working Directory via the Window -> Preferences
-> IDL dialog. I exit IDL and re-start. When it gets
done "analyzing" my code, I check the current working
directory:
IDL> pwd
C:\Program Files\ITT\IDL70\bin\bin.x86
Humm. Not what I wanted. :-(
OK, I set up a start-up file that sets this command:
Pref_Set, 'IDL_START_DIR', 'C:\IDL\The Incubator', /COMMIT
Exit IDL and start up again. I see the print statement in
my start up file, so it executes correctly. But...
IDL> pwd
C:\Program Files\ITT\IDL70\bin\bin.x86
Huh!?
I'm pretty sure this works on my home machine, running
the same OS. Weird. Really, really weird. :-(
Cheers,
David
