Well bad news as a whole. First pleaser remember that IDL wasn't
designed as a GUI tool kit, it just conviently added widget to allow
people like use to create interfaces.

Was IDL actually *designed*? I'm starting to appreciate it as a tool,
but it's so ... random and senseless. There's so little rhyme or
regularity in the syntax, and so many bizarre things to remember, that
I can't help thinking that even the official package (oppose the
various free toolkits you can get) "just grew that way".

Patience and lots of trial and error.
Exactly.

(Of course, one could always write one's *own* spin-button widget...)
