A general question - does _anyone_ know how to produce an Angstrom
symbol in IDL for general use when labelling plots etc?
(Angstrom = A with a small 'o' above it)

Ok, if nobody else is going to do it, then I will: what the hell
are you doing here? (ang = '<string-of-greek>') Please enlighten
me.
Thanks. Dave

!6 = change to Complex Roman Font
!s = save current position
A = the character "A"
!r = restore saved position (in this case, back up one character)
!u = shift to upper subscript level, decrease size by 0.62
!9 = change to math and special character font
% = this gives the degree symbol I think (the little circle thing)
!6 = change back to complex roman
!n = change back to normal level and character size
