I don't doubt you will learn a lot. Whether that's the
*best* way to learn IDL or not, I'm not so sure. I know
when I was first learning IDL I had to read the User's
Guide front to back twice before I could figure out how
to draw a line plot. Things have improved a lot since
then, but not so much "use the on-line help" would be
my first recommendation for learning to write IDL programs. :-)

That said, I don't know how anyone writes IDL programs
without having a dual-screen monitor so that the on-line
help can be up there simultaneously with the IDLDE.

Cheers,

David
