No, we have all just gotten used to people explaining
themselves so poorly that we refuse to take anything
at face value anymore. I'm sure it is an occupational
hazard on our part. :-)

I understood your point, I just assumed the problem
lay elsewhere. My apologies.

No, I don't think it is possible to do what you want,
except in the ways that have been pointed out to you,
which all suffer from inelegance in one way or the other.
I think probably a start-up file is the way to go.
At least the user has some control about it. Although
the downside is that he or she has to know what they
are doing ahead of time. A sorry state of affairs,
usually.

Just put it in with your book order. :-)

Cheers,

P.S. PV-Wave used to be capable of changing the
number of colors used in the current session as long
as there were no graphics windows open. This was
a VERY useful innovation that IDL has never seemed
to pick up on. But it would have sure solved your
problem.
