Clearly you are not on the front lines teaching people
how to use IDL or your head wouldn't be spinning. (Unless,
of course, from the inevitable overdose of Prosaic.) But,
yes, pretty much. They know their professional life
depends upon it, but they haven't yet learned which poor
sucker had already done all the hard work and will be
willing to share it with them.

That's, uh, sort of my role in life. :-)

Cheers,

David

P.S. Like everyone else, I'm trying to take the shortcuts,
too. But, unlike everyone else, I have to eventually explain
it to someone, which requires that I actually understand what
I am doing. :-(
