What! You mean the only way to get IDL to behave non-windozily
on windows is to use callable IDL to write a tty-like input
front-end??

I have a better suggestion: Join the protest group against this
un-IDL-like behaviour and demand that RSI does something to
amend this...:-) Without interactive rescaling of the color table
(with automatic effect on displayed images), the "I" in IDL
is no longer.

Se my posting "Re: 24-bit/8-bit color (Re: read_tiff - simple question)"
from about the end of April for a good (IMO) start on what
they should offer....
