This is true for PV-WAVE, true also for IDL 7, even if a GUI-builder
exists in beta-version, but if you use the older IDL version (6.4),
entirely compatible with IDL 7 and with almost identical
functionalities, you will have the benefit of a simple to use GUI-
builder.
Since I can't be bothered with object-programming, it actually allowed
me to build in a day a GUI around my "straight" scientific
programming. Once the abstruse code has been generated, it is much
easier to add functionalities.

Best of luck

Sorry for the rough english
