Hi Liam

Thanks very much for that - so much more novice-friendly and I already
had the zip file downloaded and extracted in my IDL path so I could
use them instantly. I've now used pson and psoff to run one of my
graphs and it worked fine, so that's great! This is probably a silly
question, but if I wanted to use the usual method for sending stuff to
postscript (ie not pson/posff), can I just call "loadcolors" but not
specify 'device, decomposed=0'? The reason I ask is I have several
plots within different codes all set up like this and it would be
easier to delete that one line, than change the code. If not, that's
fine - I'll stick with this as it works!

One thing I've noticed however, is that with pson I can't change the
font size (using font_size) and I presume there are some other
limitations to using pson too.

Thanks ever so much for your help Liam - that really is much simpler
for someone like me to use! I only have a couple of weeks to grasp
enough IDL to analyse my data for my research project and sadly don't
have the time to get to grips with more sophisticated stuff! Your book
has already been invaluable!
