Yes, this works. But for some reason, I can't step through my code
now. I keep getting the same error message in BOTH perspectives,
at the same line. Can't step over, etc. This didn't used to be a
problem, so maybe I'm just in a funny mode or something. Don't have
time to play with it right now.

Well, I'm sure they are probably better programmers than I am.
When they make a mistake its a surprise. When I get it right,
it's a miracle. :-)
Cheers,

P.S. By the way, Mike's suggestion to keep the Debug View
around in the IDL Perspective, too, also works, but I've
been trying all day to eliminate views not stuff my display
with them. Adding yet more views is just defeating my whole
purpose. Still, it might be workable if I could just get
the cursor to step over the breakpoint and carry on. I'm
*sure* I've done this part before...
