Reimar refers to an embarrassing experience in the past,
whose only saving grace was that it caused Karsten
Rodenacker to feel so much pity for me he became
a good friend.

Well, at least I know now there is *something* about
doors that is confusing to others. That is some solace. :-)

I think the documentation is incomplete. I think it was meant to
say this:

If set to zero, the default, IDL automatically determines the
number of minor ticks in each major tick-mark interval, unless
you are totally screwing with its head by creating your own tick
values and names. Then it just throws up its hands and assumes
you know what the hell you are doing!

Cheers,

David
