Note the error message that appears in the IDL text window. Does it explain the problem?
• Type retall to return to the main program level and see if the crash occurs again. • Exit and restart IDL and see if the crash occurs again. • If it does, and you’re pretty sure your SSW setup and IDL path are correct, and you have an updated version of SSW (if you’re using the development version), then please document and report the problem as follows: • Capture the following information in the IDL session (before typing retall) and send it with a description of what you were trying to do to hessibugs@hesperia.gsfc.nasa.gov. • The error message and the traceback showing the IDL routines and statement numbers that appeared when the program crashed. • A list of the local variables (type help,name=’*’) • The IDL path (type print, !path) For known bugs, type retall, and in many cases you will be able to continue working in your IDL session.
