And by the way (since I'm already in a harping
sort of a mood) is is a *great* idea to give
these utility routines names my "MyGreatProgram_Print"
and "MyGreatProgram_Save", rather than "Print" and "Save"
unless you enjoy spending late evenings and weekends
tracking down why your programs don't run on your
boss's computer. :-)

Cheers,

David

P.S. Let's just say that if we could only run
one program at a time, the whole world would
be save for IDL programmers.
