I just fixed it by downloading the latest version of David's entire
library from
http://www.dfanning.com/programs/coyoteprograms.zip

Into a folder on my !Path

I guess I also restored the analyst.sav file, but I'm not sure if
that's necessary if you have everything set up right:
CD, [Coyote Library Folder]
RESTORE, 'analyst.sav'

Regards,
Chris

PS Here's a simple version of what I use to do what I think you want.
It's not efficient, with all those Wait calls and unnecessary
concatenations, but it works:

Function GraphArray, X, Y

Window, /Free, Title = $
'Left click to store values, right click when done.'
WIndex = !Window

Loop:

Plot, X, Y
Cursor, xp, yp, /Data, /Down

; Right button or kill/change window to quit:
If !Mouse.Button Eq 4 Or !Window NE WIndex Then Begin
Print, 'Returning.'
If !Window Eq WIndex Then WDelete
If N_elements(Array) Eq 0 Then Return, 0
Return, Transpose(Array)
Endif

; Draw X where user clicked
OPlot, [0,xp], [0,yp], PSym=2

; Work out nearest point on graph line
XDiffs = Abs(X - xp)
YDiffs = Abs(Y - yp)
Diffs = XDiffs + YDiffs
Void = Min(Diffs, Index)
NX = X[Index]
NY = Y[Index]
NearPt = [ NX, NY ]

; Draw a diamond on actual datapoint stored to array.
OPlot, [0,NX], [0,NY], PSym=4
Wait, 1.5

; Store values
If N_Elements(Array) Eq 0 Then $
Array = Transpose(NearPt) Else $
Array = [Array, Transpose(NearPt)]

Goto, Loop

End
