That's bad news, Karsten. I have not found a work-around, and not being able
to use the cursor is a killer for my widget-based applications. Are you and
I the only ones with this problem? Does anyone have a workaround? I have
been using Terminal and running IDL from the command line.
I can't get the IDL 7.0 Workbench to start at all - it bounces in the Dock
and then silently stops. Seems like there is a problem with my IDL 7.0
configuration on the Mac under Leopard but I can't sort it out. Any
suggestions?
