Hi people,
I'm a newby student to idl. One problem which has stumped me is:
Write a programme that asks for your name and favorite color, and then prints out a sentence that includes them. I think this uses the read command, but so far unable to get anything that works. Help. Cheers, Don

Thanks for that help Phillip, what I understand now is:
read, a, b, prompt="Enter name and favorite colour."
;;Assuming I enter Don and yellow, then.
PRINT, "Hi Don, your choice of yellow is a good one."
;;I can't figure out how the computer picks up my name and colour to include in the sentence. Cheers, Don
