Oh, never mind. Pilot error. I had accidentally
left out the semi-colon at the end of my Coyote path.
I don't know what IDL was thinking, but no error
message was generated, just lots of churning.
Cheers,
David

Just a short note regarding your PrintPath programme here:
http://www.dfanning.com/workbench/nostopper.html
As I'm currently in the grip of evangelical fervour induced by a
re-reading of JD Smith's (in)famous oration -
http://www.dfanning.com/tips/forloops.html - I've discovered that you
can replace the FOR loop by using TRANSPOSE; like this:
Print, Transpose(StrSplit(!PATH, Path_Sep(/SEARCH_PATH), /Extract))
I've only tested it on Windows & RedHat Linux but I see no reason why
it shouldn't be completely compatible cross-platform.
Just in case your !PATH is *that* long that you'd notice the time the
FOR loop takes ;-)
Oh, and feel free to point out why it'd be a bad idea to use my
method, if you can spot a reason!
