Hi,

Does anybody know, if there are other IDL-manuals then the
Users guide from RSI?

They have published at least two other manuals, both based on their own training
courses. I don't know if they were a "limited edition", but we got them through
the usual IDL distributers.

They are:

"Learing IDL: An interactive Training Course" and
"Building Graphical User Interfaces: An interactive Training Course"

I spoke to the technical support people at RSI about this and they said
that indeed, the only currently available manual on IDL was the RSI
Users and Reference guide. However, I was told that someone from IDL
(I forgot the name) was involved in writing a more user-friendly book.
