Well, my original problem is to update a program
(http://idlastro.gsfc.nasa.gov/ftp/pro/tv/curval.pro ) that continuously
displays derived values depending on the cursor position. It is similar
to the IITVIS routine RDPIX, which displays only the cursor position and
intensity. Interestingly, IITVIS does not consider RDPIX to be an
obsolete routine, even though it does not work under the IDE (and thus not
under Windows).

The main purpose of my original post was to make sure there was not some
trick to make the IDE overwrite a line, which would have been the easiest
solution. I will go ahead and create a widget display if the user is using
the IDLDE. It was helpful to receive the suggestion of writing a drop-in
replacement for PRINT.

I even looked at Iimage which continuously displays cursor position and
intensities by default, but which seems to require a month's work to
reprogram to display astronomical coordinates. --Wayne
