Yeah, yeah, yeah. I realized all this the minute I hit the SEND key!
It's just that good ideas don't always occur to me when I am
writing programs on the fly. My method of working, to tell you
the truth, is to write some nonsense here, wait around for all
the experts to post or e-mail me the *real* answers, then write
it up as a tip on my web page like I know what I'm doing.

I figure this is about 100 times faster than looking at the
IDL documentation! :-)

Cheers!

David
