Thank you. I can get it to work reliably when I need it
to (on Windows anyway), so at least I can get some
work done now that I can keep my hands glued to
the keyboard. :-)
Cheers,
David

Well, that WSHOW is definitely a bug. I'm not sure why it was behaving
so inconsistently for you, but it's definitely busted.
FYI, it's logged as CR60573. I don't think it will make it into the
upcoming patch, but we'll get it into the next available release.

Thanks, Chris. I appreciate it. :-)
Cheers,
David
P.S. Any idea what's up with the WShow command?
That's a weird one!

Hi David,
I had to dig pretty deep in the source control to figure this one out.
It's an undocumented switch to .compile that forces IDL to ignore
environment variables (e.g. $HOME) within the filepath. Normally, on
Unix, you could do something like .compile $HOME/foo.pro and this
would work fine. However, someone had complained that if they had $
within their directory names then the IDL Workbench was unable to
compile files within that directory. Since the Workbench already knows
the full path to the file, there is no need to honor $xyz environment
variables.

Maybe -v for -verbose !
