We just upgraded our IDL from version 2.3.2 to 3.6.1.a on our DEC 5000
ultrix system. One thing bothers me with the new version is the fonts
and background color shown in the help menu (by typing ?) and in the
color table (by typing xloadct) don't seem to be right. In specific,
the color bar (using xloadct) is too long that it even shows an
uncontrollable black bar attached to the color bar. The old version IDL
did not have this problem. Does anyone have the same problem or Am I
missing something? Thanks for your time.

I was not clear in my original message. In fact, I believe the whole
color bar was displayed. However, because the fonts in the table were
so big that the color bar was appended with some junk (black or color
0). This problem did not happen in running the old version IDL 2.3.2.
Any pointer will be appreciated.
