Hi
I love to use often on daily work with idl the following dot commands:
.edit (you can forget where you stored your famous program but
you know it is in the search path and bingo it get's it)
.reset (idl tells sometimes nonsense error messages or did things
which can't be real or at least I do believe this. That command
helps immediately to reiinitialize my idl session and I can go
on to try again)
cheers
Reimar

I'm not surprised at that - the EXECUTE() won't fail in the vm until
the vm tries to "execute" it. If you code branches somewhere else
every time, then that's fine as far as the vm is concerned. The code
will compile fine, too, since it has no syntax errors.

I've been running these on my wife's machine, and
no license there at all.
To be fair, I have never, ever used the code in
FSC_PSCONFIG__DEFINE that contained the EXECUTE
commands, except when I was testing the functionality.
(It has to do with font information, which I handle
differently in PostScript.) So...I suppose it could
be there and not work, but the point is, I compiled
and produced the save file without problems.
Cheers,
David

If you're testing the vm code on your machine and you don't explicitly
tell IDL to use the vm, it will take a license, no?

Ok, there were a couple of EXECUTE commands in
FSC_PSCONFIG__DEFINE. They are gone now. :-)
http://www.dfanning.com/programs/fsc_psconfig__define.pro
The other three programs are all ancient programs
and are no longer distributed in the Coyote Library.
(Nor have they been for a *long* time.)
Thanks for the heads-up on this. But I've been making
VM code for two weeks without running into any problems,
so I'm not sure what is up with the question that started
this thread. And, believe me, ALL my VM programs have
PSCONFIG in them! ;-)
Cheers,
David

Ah, I missed the flashlight. :-)
Yes, I guess it works, but it didn't find all those
Execute's Vince is talking about. :-(

I am on RHEL v5.2, and with the latest IDL Workbench update v7.0.3. It
is working here :)

Search window is opened by clicking the flashlight symbol.

In particular - search gives the following for "execute(" in
coyoteprograms:
display.pro
fsc_psconfig__define.pro (2 matches)
ps_form.pro (5 matches)
xwindow.pro (8 matches)
Are you using any of these?

I'm working on a LINUX machine this morning, and this doesn't
seem to work. :-(

Another nice trick Scott.
Although it is not a dot command, I would like to point the "Classic
Search" feature of Eclipse IDE. This helps to search text within all
the files in the current workspace. It is activated by clicking Window/
Show View/Other/General/Classic Search.

Also give CTRL+Shift+R a try in the IDE, to open a resource in any
project within your workspace. It helps to find files too. The
dialog updates while you type and you can use wildcard characters.
