Thanks, Craig. STATUSLINE works fine on our unix boxes (vt100).

I added a blank "PRINT" in the /CLOSE block to ensure that
upon close the IDL prompt does not over-write the status line.

if keyword_set(close) AND n_elements(statusline_unit) GE 1 then begin
if statusline_unit(0) LT 0 then return
free_lun, statusline_unit(0)
statusline_unit = -1L
PRINT
return
endif

I doesn't work on my Mac however (no surprise). Maybe when the OS X
(unix-like) version is available.
