Alas, even finding the right page doesn't improve my opinion of the
documentation. In the AVI example, they "cleanup" the IDLffVideo object
with this command:

videoObj.CleanUp

When I call that method (IDL 8.2.1), I get this error message:

% Lifecycle methods cannot be called in this context.

To destroy the object and release the file, I have to do this:

Obj_Destroy, videoObj

Cheers,

David
