I have an application which lets a user select a file to open using the
PickFile.pro routine bundled with the IDL software. In case you haven't seen
it, PickFile is a widget-based file selection function, used in the following
manner:
filename = PickFile()
The problem is that if at any time in my IDL session I've opened up the help
widget (by typing '?' at the IDL prompt), the above line crashes IDL and
returns me to my system prompt. It makes no difference if I exit the help
widget first or leave it open. Also, the crash usually occurs after PickFile
opens and I click on the first selection.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on? I'm running IDL 4.0 on SGI Irix.
