Thanks for the kick. I might just have needed that. :) I already have
changed some portions of the source, though this modal stuff seems to be
too far away. I just thought it was to lock the other widgets while
requiring the user to enter something in a special place. If there's
interest, i can write/post some source (now without common blocks and
such). But I already have been quite lengthy.
I asked our library to acquire the book, but if I believe amazon.com,
it'll arrive after my time. At least it'll be there when anyone else will
need it, then.
If idl weren't that bl... expensive i'd have a (current) copy of my own at
home to fiddle with, and i could work with an os underneath (the problem
is, although i am a student still, i can't use the student's version
since, to all what i know, it only allows arrays of up to 500x500
elements or so, but the ones i start with are abt. 750x550 ...).
The necessity of a runtime license doesn't make it attractive, either.
So. Maybe, i'll just hardcode the file names in there when i need them,
it's less than a hundred files (i think) only a couple of which i might
really include in the end. I more urgently need to be done than having a
particularly beautiful code. Unfortunately, since I start liking the game.
Anyways, I probably will be back for one or the other beginners' question
in a while. Thank you very much for your patience and responses. Please go
on being that patient with future newbies, too.
Best regards,
Peter.
