Yeah.

In fact I had grabbed a very similar startup script about week
ago, and I think it failed because the order of steps that
I had was wrong (with the decomposed = 0 before true=24 statement,
which seemed to cause the true = 24 statement to be ignored,
(as is described in the IDL help).)

It is nice to finally have come full circle and completed the journey
to whence I started.

Cheers,
bob

PS Let's just say I find it a lot more comfortable in Win2000 (where
I almost know whats going on) than Linux.
