Uh, this wasn't the BEST program I ever wrote, but I'm
pretty darn sure it doesn't produce encapsulated PostScript
output. :-)

Try renaming the file to print_it_darn_it.pro. Compile the
file like this:

IDL> .Compile print_it_darn_it

Then try to run the Print_It program.

IDL> Window, XSize=300, YSize=300
IDL> TV, Dist(300)
IDL> Print_It, 0

Now you should be running the write Print_It program. :-)

I think you were finding the wrong Print_It program. To
see which program you have, type this:

Help, /Source

It will tell you what directories your compiled procedures
and functions were found in.

Cheers,

David
