Hi all,

In a serendipitous brain-muddle, I was about to cut some text from an IDLDE
window, I used the Emacs "Cut" command Ctrl-W and suddenly my keyboard focus
went to the Command Input box! Someone had asked for this some time ago, and
the only alternative was the slightly-yucky Ctrl-A, Ctrl-A... Well, on
Windows at least, here's an undocumented solution, and it seems to work
regardless of where the input focus is when used. Enjoy!
IDL> Print, !Version

{ x86 Win32 Windows Microsoft Windows 5.5 Aug 28 2001 32 64}

No one can doubt the usefulness of Emacs now! :-)

Cheers,
