Well, you are probably younger than I am. :-)

Well, that is interesting. My test case was actually different from
the case I wrote in the article. My test case was this:

IDL> dir = '~/IDL/coyote'
IDL> file = 'fsc_surface.pro'
IDL> Print, Dialog_Pickfile(FILE=file, PATH=dir)
/home/fanning/IDL/coyote/~/IDL/coyote/fsc_suface.pro

Which is obviously wrong. So maybe it is just a bug in
how wildcards are handled. Anyway, it sure looks and feels
like a bug to me. :-)

Cheers,

David

P.S. Can you check the test case above in IDL 7.1 and let me
know what you see? It will probably help with my report to
ITTVIS. You will probably have to substitute your own
directories for mine.
