Hi guys,

I was asked by some folks that are putting together a package for use
by users of a radio telescope whether it was possible since a lot of
the time you'd like to have access (at the command line, not in a
journal) to what you did last night while on the telescope.

So this won't apply here because we're not expecting IDL experts, and,
well, IDLWAVE is too much of a hurdle to ask newbies to jump when
they're trying to learn to use a 50 story telescope AND use IDL to
reduce their data.

Journal was my first thought... but that doesn't work, since there's no
way to stick the contents of the journal back into the recall buffer
unless you run everything in IDL first, which is just not the way to
go.

you.

Um, yeah, that's what I thought. What's the best way to nudge, nudge
RSI that this is a good idea?

Thanks for the help fellas. Best -Tim.
