Have I mentioned that I might *never* get any work done
if it weren't for Martin's prodding. :-)

Cheers,

David

P.S. I'll keep it in the back of my mind. :-)

P.S.S. The ambiguous keyword message is the dark side
of our ability to abbreviate keyword names. IDL creates
a list of keywords when the program is compiled. All
you have to do is specify enough keyword letters in
the call to find that keyword on the list. Think of
finding your new friend "bob" on the Christmas list. :-)
