OK, here is my real problem.

I get into the Debug perspective. The editor window in
this perspective is pretty small. (There are lots of other
windows containing information that I am sure is totally
relevant to my needs, but I don't understand them yet.)
Since I want to do some editing, I make the editor window
bigger by double clicking on it (nice feature, by the way).

When I am finished with my edits, I double click the window
again, which (as I poorly understand it) is suppose to make
the window go back to its previous pusillanimous size.

BUT, all hell breaks loose, and all of a sudden my Debug
Perspective looks like Hurricane Katrina came though. Most
of my windows are now missing, and the ones that are there
are about 10 times their normal size. (My IDL command window
is right this minute taking up a third of my display!)

I have NO idea how to sort this out. And, of course, if
I exit now, IDL is going to think I set this Perspective
up this way by choice and will ALWAYS give it to me from
now on!! Sigh...

I just want to fix my file and get on with my life....

Cheers,

David
