Hi guys,

All suggestions are working! Thank you all!

One issue to point out: Russell, you might want to use the
oneliner
"while(!mouse.button ne 4) do cursor, xp, yp"
instead of the full-fledged while loop.
If you use the full-fledged loop, the program never returns.
(I don't know why, maybe the folks in itt just forgot to define IDL's
behavior in this circumstance)

And while this all works great, my questions remained:
the "cursor" statement waits the user to click, so the script stopped
to wait my click before it ends, right?
then what's wrong with "stop"? shouldn't it be waiting the user to
type in .cont? I suppose "eof" was not sent
into idl?!

I also tried things like the "pause" function (which I grabbed from
the internet) and read, junk. None of them
worked either.

The response to "read, junk" is "% READ: End of file encountered.
Unit: 0, File: <stdin>"
