Whew, glad it worked. :)

I think the answer to your questions is "yes". Namely, if one wants to
debug 64-bit Windows IDL, one can launch "<IDL
DIR>\bin\bin.x86_64\idlde.exe" directly from Visual Studio. I say
"think" because I actually haven't tried it... I prefer to launch the
workbench normally and then attach moments later. However, the "launch
from Visual Studio" workflow is likely faster and I believe there are
some here at VIS who prefer it too. One might have to worry about how
their PATH and such is set up, but that would just be more project settings.

Just to explain the reason behind running "in" and "out" of process, we
initially wanted the workbench to run in-process because it solves
rendering issues, alleviates _some_ "on top" issues, etc. On all
platforms it works well, except 32-bit Windows. In that case we had to
move IDL out-of-process so that it would have more memory. The
workbench's JVM was fragmenting the process' memory too severely and the
largest chunk IDL could scrounge was only 400 MB or so. Hope this
rounds out the story a bit.
