You need the program that runs the "widget" program above.
Something like this:

PRO JUNK
widget
END

I put this program at the end of my "widget" program (called
PROCESS in my example), then typed exactly these commands:

.Compile PROCESS
Resolve_All
Save, /All, Filename='junk.sav'

Viola! Click on the file JUNK.SAVE and it works like
a charm! :-)

Cheers,

David
