Dear David,

no way, but thanks.
The problem is that it changes the language (or whatever) in the middle of a script.
After dialog_pickfile(), it seems. Or at least this is the first line where I find this problem in one of my old scripts (they obviously all worked well till some months ago, with the very same pc, with the very same idl version).

Even if I could start IDL in a given language (and I cannot: the "-nl en" after the shortcut target gives me an error) maybe I would prefer to be able to reset to the default language inside a script.

Anyway, tomorrow I will try to re-install IDL and see.
Maybe it is only a problem with the "java world" of eclipse..
If I find something useful I'll let you know.

Thanks again,
Sara
