Folks,

Just a note about IDL 5.0. It has been brought to my attention
that the actions of GET_KBRD() has been changed in IDL 5.0.
In IDL 4.0.1 you could type this code:

ok = Get_KBRD(1)

And a Carriage Return character was a valid character to be
read from the keyboard. People have used this code in programs,
for example, to implement a "Hit any key to continue" type of
action.

In IDL 5.0 a Carriage Return is no longer a valid character
for this command, along with other editing keys such as
backspace and delete. Users will now have to hit a valid
alphanumeric key to continue.

Cheers,

David
