Have you *ever* known me to make a joke!? I'm
always deadly serious when it comes to IDL. :-)

(BTW, I've been told by my son that his girlfriend is
terrified of me, primarily because she can never tell
if I am joking or not. Must be an acquired taste.)

Well, what parentheses? If I put parentheses in the right
place, it works for me:

toto=ptr_new(findgen(100))
print,(*toto)[where(*toto lt 50)]
*toto=(*toto)[where(*toto lt 50)]
help, *toto

<PtrHeapVar1> FLOAT = Array[50]

I don't know. I've been up since 2AM with a dying dog. :-(

Cheers,
