By the way, I do note a positive development in the IDL
language itself. You can now use a START keyword with all
the INDGEN functions:

Print, Indgen(10, Start=5)

It's 7 more keystrokes than the old way of doing this:

Print, Indgen(10) + 5

But, it's a LOT more elegant! And, I'm happy the developers
are spending my maintenance dollars wisely.

Cheers,

David
