Dave,

Thanks for noticing this. Hmmm, Works here now too! Each
of these commands work if I type them in a new IDL session, but
fail after I run a particular program. This is obviously a bit more
subtle of a problem. I'll try and reproduce the problem and submit
the code for review.

New topic: Why does IDL v 5.1 nolonger CD to the source directory
of a .pro file when I double click on it from the explorer, but does if
I use the IDL:file:open menu to open it? If this is an intentional shift
in operating standards - I do not like it. I lose track of my postscript
file output now (ends up in the the IDL Source tree root directory).

More in a bit,

JMZ
