Perhaps my terminology is incorrect. Yes, I have a created an
ENVI .sav file and added it to the save_add directory. This is a save
of many routines that use both ENVI and IDL functions and procedures.
My issue is that it doesn't "RESTORE" the file everytime I open an
instance of ENVI, sometimes it merely "COMPILES" the file. When it
"RESTORES" the .sav, my toolbar exists and everything works great!
however, more often that not, it "COMPILES" the .sav and my toolbar is
not there:(
When I refer to RESTORE and COMPILE above, I'm referring to the
messages I get in the IDL console upon startup of ENVI, NOT the
commands. Hope this helps to decypher my previous message.
Thanks,
Brian
