Ye gods! I must admit to never having used IDL in windows, so I've
never found that issue. Or used windows at all in a decade, for that
matter. Hmmm.

Any idea whether this statement: "If this turns out to be true there a
good chance that in the future the behavior of the Windows and Unix
versions of IDL will be consistent. [That is, versions after IDL
5.6.]" is indeed true for recent versions?

-Jeremy.
