That's similar behaviour I see in some Fortran output on some OSes - *particularly* unix
(good ol' VAX VMS did what I wanted....). The suppressed output doesn't get printed to
screen until a new line is begun. Sort of like flushing buffers and whatnot. I don't think
it's an IDL thing, I think it's an OS thing.

p.s. You can send me the 5 lattes in the mail. Oh, and no foam thanks. :o)
