Dear David and Pavel
I like very much the I of idl it stands for interactive.
For my opinion objects can't be interactive they are always well planned.
The people starting with idl are almost very different in learning and
working with idl. In most cases my feeling is if they can theireselfs work
a bit on a solution without reading many books or asking a lot of people
for help they like idl more.
I started myself with the basics idl book. It was a small book about 50
pages. On each page was an example and just behind you have the result.
This book is missing since 5.0 from the idl descriptions.
The people who stay longer using idl they are interested more in writing
good quality sources. They are intereseted in reading whatever is
available.
My conclusion
I feel well if someone asks first time in this group and he or she gots a
simple and a more detailed answer.
If this person spent later more time on discussions we will see what
happens.
regards
Reimar
