I know nothing about the windows environment, and I don't use the IDE, so your IDL experience may be normal (anyone?
anyone?)

But maybe your computer has a virus? Or something.

Regardless, while I empathise with your frustration, I sure do appreciate the effort you're expending to exercise the
function graphics routines and, just as importantly, document that effort.

cheers,

paulv

p.s. So, um, are ITTVIS paying you yet for this testing of IDL in the field? :o)
