You say this like you think that RSI actually adds useful features to
IDL. I'm still waiting for command line arguments and nice-looking
fonts in direct graphics. And those aren't the only things missing. At
least I can "fix" the command line argument with a nice little Python
wrapper.

As far as HDF5 writing goes, RSI did not mention it at all in their last
newsletter (http://www.rsinc.com/newsletter/#idlbeta) which listed some
of the new features in IDL 6.1. The only thing I know to do is get the
HDF5 C library and write a DLM for the functions you need. Why RSI
can't do this themselves is beyond me.
