Well, this occurs in a fresh IDL session, so image
is undefined. I've also checked to be sure no procedures
or functions named "image" are defined.

IDL> .reset
IDL> .compile -v 'C:\IDL\default\junk.pro'

img = image(image, /current)
^
% Syntax error.
At: C:\IDL\default\junk.pro, Line 4
% 1 Compilation error(s) in module $MAIN$.

Yes, Compile_Opt idl2 helps and seems to solve
the problem. Yet one more reason (if we need one!)
that this should finally be the default behavior!

The fact that I know how to work-around the problem
(naming my image "bob" also solves the problem!) doesn't
give me much satisfaction. What do you suppose the
problem is?

Cheers,

David
