Hi,

Thanks very much both--you were indeed correct! Due to a local problem
our IDL help has been unavailable recently--we're using IDL 7.0 but
the help files I could access were for 6.0, before this keyword was
presumably added. As they say the stupid questions are easiest to
answer. All appears to be working now.

(In case anyone stumbles upon this later, I found a couple more bugs I
needed to fix: my final calls should be h5g_close and h5f_close, as
opposed to more h5d_close).

Andy
