Bruce's problem is with IDLDE, not with command recall in his terminal so
the above tip doesn't help. Maybe his mistake is using IDLDE and not using
IDLWAVE but maybe he came from win32 land and is having a hard time giving
IDLDE up.
It's o.k. Bruce. I fear the day object graphics runs as fast in Linux as in
windows and I have to leave the comfort of IDLDE and learn IDLWAVE. But
maybe you should give it a try? They way some of these guys are talking
about it sounds like IDLWAVE practically writes your code for you!
