Well, I have outlined my problem, and I get bitten
by it again and again. It is caused by IDL being IDL
and myself relying a lot on on-the-fly compilation
of small code fragments. Other people will have
different styles (and different objectives) and IDL's
creators cannot forsee every way their software might
be used.

It is really a problem of how the human mind works:
The situations where my ingrained working style causes
me data loss are so rare that I do not become aware of
them until about one millisecond after it is too late.
This is a prime example of where the software should help
the user avoid this kind of error.

So, you other IDLWAVE users: have you eschewed the command
line and become addicted to C-c C-d C-e, like I have?
