Use two monitors. Display your IDL plot windows on one
monitor and your IDLDE in the other. ;-)
Until WSet gets fixed (unlikely, since it has been
broken for so damn long!), there is no hope for this
on a single monitor system. The alternative, I guess,
is to write a widget program, rather than trying to
collect input from the command line.
Cheers,
David
