was loaded (confirmed via colorbar & xpalette), but the "surface" or "shade_surf" or
"fsc_surface" gives grey fill output. Its driving me nuts. Does anyone know of a way to reset
IDL cash or something (used to delete the .idl in Windows systems).

Don't know. These commands result in a red-temperature
surface for me:

loadct, 3
Z = shift(dist(40), 20, 20)
Z = exp(-(Z/10)^2)
cgshade_surf, z

Let's see what the result of a Help, /Device command is.

Cheers,
