Yes, David. That's a mystery to me as well. However, the problem occurs when the development environment is launched from the command line and also when I use IDL directly from the command line. Even more curious is that some ImageMagick commands work fine from within IDL.

For instance, issuing SPAWN, 'gs /Users/blesht/test1.ps' brings up an x-window with the plot. SPAWN, 'display' brings up an x-window with the ImageMagick icon but attempting to load the /Users/blesht/test1.ps fails. Of course, it works fine from the shell. Maybe I should see if I can explore the environmental variables from within and without IDL.

Nice way to spend a Sunday!

Best, Barry

For some reason the ImageMagick 'convert' command generated through the IDL 'spawn' procedure behaves differently than it does when it is issued directly from the shell. I think this points to IDL as the problem (rather than to ImageMagick/ghostscript) but am not sure about that.
