Hi Folks,
I'm trying to work out some external C programs that I'm calling from
IDL.
In IDL 7.1, when my DLLs crashed, IDL would display a fatal error
message, but the workbench window would persist, so I could look at
the console and read the debug statements from my C code to figure out
what happened right before the crash.
On the other hand, IDL 8 exits immediately, closing all windows. This
is a problem because I have already changed some of my code to use IDL
8 features, so I can't just run everything in 7.1 to view the error
messages.
This motivates my question - is there any way to get IDL to record all
console output on a file, so I can read it and do a post-mortem after
IDL shuts down?
You'd think that software would get better when they release new
versions...

Hi,
JOURNAL comes to mind... though I am not sure if all content would be
written, as you would be unable to type the closing command
