Perhaps. But like most IDL users, I consider IDL so intuitively
easy to use that reading the manuals is probably a waste
of time. :^)

Actually, that is not quite true. I use the on-line help
a LOT. In fact, I probably use it more now (when I am
suppose to be an IDL "expert") than I did when I didn't
have a clue. But, I have to admit, the IDL documentation is
not the first thing that comes to mind when I think of
"pleasure reading". :-)

Cheers,

David

P.S. To be completely serious for a moment. I find the
IDL documentation to be MUCH better organized and
easier to use than it used to be. Although it is still
written a little too much from a computer software-centric
point of view for my taste (and needs), it is generally
on par with most of the documentation sitting on my shelf.
