Hmm. Time to eat some humble pie. Yum, yum, munch munch.

I recently started putting a space at the start of the names of
folders containing my most recent data. This forces them to appear at
the top of listings when using, for example, IDL's DIALOG_PICKFILE.
This also breaks a program I wrote to split paths from filenames back
in the dark ages when dragons still roamed the earth and IDL 3.5.1
seemed cool and young. Naturally, I wrote a hasty post to usenet
instead of sitting down and thinking for a bit.

My Bug. My Bad.

Dear RSI. I am very very sorry to have committed this dreadful
act of calumny and will go to bed tonight without my cocoa or my
goodnight kiss. I have also donated my secret list of HISTOGRAM tips
to the starving poor of Bulawayo. I hope this goes some way towards
mitigating my terrible crime.
