Yet some more, albeit minor, complaints (again for NT 4.0). Why can't
I save the geometries of the log window and the status of the tool
bars? I can change and set the overall size of the main window and
IDL will remeber both where and how big it was, but if I extend the
log window from 10 lines to say 20 lines, that setting will not be
remembered. Similarly, I want to get rid of the "Macro Toolbar" and
I can turn it off via the menus, but if I exit and then reenter IDL
those stupid macro tools are back. I'd also like to be able to
customize the tool bars as well (like I really need to have a tool
handy to run the demo program!). I did figure out how to delete items
from the macro menu. Is the solution for this to move or rename the
macro file in the IDL50 tree? How about being able to turn off
the "splash screen" that advertises IDL during the start-up sequence?

Hey, shouldn't we be able to double click on a proceedure or function
call in the edit window and have the online help pop up with the
reference guide entry for that function? Maybe this is something we
could add with a macro (double click on a function name then hit a
macro button as can be done with variables) if so does anyone have
a working macro for this?

The more I work with 5.0 the more potential I see here. Potential
is fine, but kinentics (actions) are better.
