Are you kidding!? All I do anymore is complain about
the damn WSHOW command and why it's broken. The usual
response from technical support is "Huh, what's the
WSHOW command?"

If fact, I have discovered that this is a deep
conspiracy at ITTVIS to completely eliminate
direct graphics. No doubt due the the increasing
popularity of Coyote Graphics. :-)

I have IDL running on the right monitor and graphics
windows appearing on the left monitor. I have discovered
in IDL 8.1 that if I have a direct graphics window and
a function graphics window that I can NEVER put a
direct graphics window in front of a function graphics
window!

You talk about something that annoys the living
hell out of me...

Cheers,

David

P.S. Have I mentioned lately how much I love IDL 8.1? :-)
