Regarding iTools, the first time iTools was included, I wanted to try
things out. I bring up an iTool and click and BOOM! There went my IDL
session and I think it even tool my shell along with it. There also
went any interest I had in iTools. After a little research, I figured
out the problem, but iTools are nothing more than a whiz-bang feature
that has no practical application (for me).

To whom within RSI do we send our ground swell of letters? Do you think
RSI would listen, if we as the IDL newsgroup, came up with a list of the
top things we'd most like to see implemented? Instead of each one of us
requesting all sorts of different little things, find the things that we
have in common and all of us get behind that effort to get it in? Grass
roots, baby!! ;-)
