Hi,
a basic question from a basic user:
I have always used IDL from the command line. It's a while since our
IT dep. upgraded IDL, jumping now from 6.4 to 8.0. After upgrading,
the help menu has become so extremely slow. I can type "?" and go for
a coffee, and then I get time for another cup if trying to select
items on the menu. Ok, it works - technically. I notice some
discussions related to the change in help menu in the forum, but
couldtn find any real help. I'm running on a Unix platform (Sun
Solaris), and the help menu "pops up" in a Mozilla browser.
The work bench (which I have never used before) doesnt seem to be an
alternative, as the command 'idlde' is not reckognised ("idlde is not
available for this system (solaris2.sparc)").
So, I wonder if these problems of mine are due to 1) the new idl
version, 2) a recent change (upgrade) of the computer 3) the web
browser used (Mozilla)?
Anyone experiencing the same? And having solutions?
Cheers
Sverre S.
