Well, this is interesting...Not! [message #57683]

Folks,

I'm beginning to love IDL 7.0!

This morning, in my usual way, I started a program that
has a rather time-consuming FOR loop in it. (I'm processing
a large data file.) Of course, as soon as I started it,
I realized I had programmed a big mistake into it, so I
wanted to stop it. Of course, I'm inside the damn FOR loop,
so there *is* no stopping it.

So, I just exited IDL. :-)

Now I have no IDLDE and my FOR loop is *still* running!
I think the new do-dads I put on my computer have an extra
three years of wear on it already. :-(

Of course, I *can't* start up another IDLDE, since this
one is still running. My only recourse this morning
(unless someone here has some ideas) is to start writing
my Christmas cards.

Cheers,

David
