Err...this is also off-topic, but don't you have any curiosity to find out what is causing
the problem? With google at your fingertips it's easy to get at least an idea if not the
outright answer. E.g. Have you checked your .profile, .login, .bashrc, .bash_profile, or
the various /etc forms of those files to see where the "defaults" command is being called,
why is it being called, and why it isn't in your path?
You know, this topic reminds me of callers to the NPR show "Car Talk". People describe
these sometimes bizarre things that are happening (noises, shaking, other weird stuff) as
they drive their cars. The inevitable question "How long has this been going on?" comes up
and the answers typically range from several weeks to months in some cases. It never
ceases to amaze me what people will put up with. :o)
cheers,
paulv

Control-o would suppress output to the screen.

Hi,

The only error which I get is a type conversion error - which has no
influence whatsoever and the programme happily continues to run.

Exactly. I'm reading a data files with different number of columns which
as the first and last part of each line contains a textual comment -
which of course fails to convert to a numerical value.

Well, yes, I _can_ live with them. As it seems that it's not as easy
(just changing a switch or compile option yet unknown to me), that's
what it will be. I know it's not overtly complicated to get rid of them,
but I would need to customize the read-in procedure (it can deal with
leading, but not trailing text) which I wanted to avoid in order to
avoid code duplication.
Thanks for your advice :)
Ingo

Well yes, I am curious, and yes, I have looked into it, and no, I
can't figure out what the problem is for the life of me.
Unfortunately, my employers don't pay me to program in IDL just for
the sake of writing elegant IDL programs; they want answers. If I want
to keep my job an occasional warning which does nothing but clutter my
screen is something I have to write off after having given it the old
college try to fix it.
As long as this topic had come up I thought I might mention it; I
wouldn't have wasted the bandwidth or the time of the people who
kindly have helped me out so many times otherwise. I thought possibly
there was some IDL or unix fix that would suppress this sort of
message that was likely common knowledge.
Having said that, I'm afraid my message did come across like I was
asking someone else to do my thinking for me out of laziness. Sorry
'bout that.
Mark
