There are a couple of exceptions, I suppose. The WShow
command is definitely broken in IDL 8.1 and does
really entertaining and weird things when you try
to use it. And I do notice quite often that when
I try to run a program that doesn't explicitly open
a graphics window, but just issues a graphics command
that is *suppose* to open a window (plot, contour, etc.)
that about every 5th or 6th time I run the program
nothing whatsoever happens. Usually, you can just open
a graphics window and things work for awhile. Sometimes
it is impossible to recover, even with a .reset, and
you have to start the Workbench over again.

Cheers,

David
