WSHOW doesn't work with the IDL Workbench, so you can't easily
bring your graphics windows forward on your display. You
have to click them. Then, when you go back to the Workbench,
they disappear again.

If you are a command line type of guy IDL 7.0 is *absolutely*
no different from IDL 6.4. Just try not to think of the money
you spent on the upgrade. :-)

Sure, why not? The world's an oyster! (But, uh, I guess the
directions are missing.) If you like a particular editor, I think
I'd just stay with it and use the command line thingy. Works
for most of us. I know I'd be in a lot of trouble without the
IDL 6.4 On-Line Help. ;-)

Cheers,

David
