Humm. I guess my definition of "high-level" must be different
from yours. Nevertheless, I find this alphabetical listing of
routines you *could* use if you knew what the hell you were
doing (which you don't) to be totally off-putting and
depressing. Since years of IDL experience doesn't seem to
help get through the morass, I can only imagine what I would
think if I were approaching it as an IDL novice. "Matlab",
probably. :-(

Cheers,

David

P.S. I do find it immensely cheering that things are
"fully supported" though. ;-)
