Well, as an IDL beginner, you better get used to that. :o) You'll find there quite a bit of handy
stuff in IDL that is documented/cross-referenced in an, umm, interesting manner. The "@" is a good
example actually. Its function _is_ documented (Appendix F of the online help), but unless you know
to look for the "@" in the first place, you're pretty much stuck (i.e. the index does not have a
link under the word "include files".... but it does under "batch files". Go figure).
I just grabbed my copy of Liam's IDL book from my shelf and, sure enough, in the index there is an
entry under "include files". It's worth your while to check his book out from the library or get
your own copy if you're going to be using IDL for anything useful (see www.gumley.com)
