I'm running IDL7.0 and OS X 10.5 on several Intel Macs.
I run IDL from the command line in an xterm generated by Terminal.
I'm having a variety of cursor-related problems. For example,
Tvscl,Findgen(300)#Findgen(300)
Zoom
The middle and right buttons don't perform as expected. I am stuck in some
endless look and I need to kill the IDL session.
I am using a three button mouse, and I've tried the old-fashioned command:
defaults write com.apple.x11 wm_click_through -bool true
This used to do the trick on the old version of X11, but it does not seem to
help now.
I am running X11 version 2.1.4.
Any suggestions on how to get the cursor to work properly in ZOOM?
While I am at it, I get NOTHING when I type ? at the IDL prompt. How can I
configure my system to have IDL help work again?
Thanks!
