Hi David!
Actually.. I *am* using two monitors; and the plot window and IDLDE
are on different monitors! So how do I make that work? My coworker
who is the only other person who needs to uo use my code has two
monitors, as well... we can improvise :) I was trying to avoid
learning widgets for now (though I know it will have to happen,
eventually)
