Thanks David. Yes pictures are exactly what I want. I work with somebody
who knows IDL and who can make me some IDL programs. I want to be able to
pass this IDL code to a Java class which can execute the IDL and return a JPG
(or a reference to where a JPG is located on the file system).

If there are any example codes out there which I might be able to look at in
order to get an idea as to how this is done then please point the way. I
have tried to look at what RSI offers as example ION-Java code but it appears
that the link is dead (http://ion.researchsystems.com/IONJava/)

Thanks again for your help...
