Folks,

Alright, this has gone too far...

This is probably a Windows 7 thing, but why can't I
ever delete a friggin file I create in IDL!? Any time
I write a file and try to delete it in that IDL session
I am denied because IDL "has the file open". In fact,
I have closed the friggin file--MULTIPLE times!!--and
I still can't delete it.

I have to exit IDL, delete the file, then run my
program again. This is NOT one of my best programming
days! :-(

Cheers,

David

P.S. These are netCDF files, if that makes any difference,
which I don't think it does, because I can't delete log
text files either!
