I don't use system variables normally, but I don't
think so. I can't think of a reason why it *would*
be so.

No, this is the only way to do it.

How, exactly, is the user setting these system variables?
Is there some kind of user interaction with a widget program?
Is it possible that program is a blocking widget, rather than
a modal widget, and it is running through its block and returning
a value before the user has actually entered something? That seems
more likely, to me.

Remember, in run-time IDL there is no command line to
block, so no blocking is ever done unless you specifically
request it (I.e., by making the widget modal).

Cheers,

David
