I'd be learning about square bracket syntax for
array subscripting if I were you. :-)

Either someone turned the STRICTARR compiler option on
while you weren't looking (I'd have a word with your
office mate), or IDL has got it into its head that
PRODUCT is a function. In either case, square brackets
will straighten you out.

Cheers,

David
