One of my interactive programs looks for keyboard input in the background using the GET_KBRD(0) command. In 7.0.4 running x86_64, I get the following: IDL> test=get_kbrd(0) % Unable to read/modify terminal characteristics. Invalid argument % Execution halted at: $MAIN$ IDL> print,!version { x86_64 darwin unix Mac OS X 7.0.4 Sep 3 2008 64 64} In 32 bit mode, the problem disappears: IDL> test=get_kbrd(0) IDL> print,!version { i386 darwin unix Mac OS X 7.0.4 Sep 3 2008 32 64} Any ideas? -Kris

Hi Kris, I was able to reproduce this and I think it is a bug. I will report it as such. Thanks! -Mari

Have you heard anything on this bug, Mari? As of now, the only solution I can find is to run 32-bit mode. Anyone else have any ideas? -Kris

It should be fixed in the next release of IDL. Unfortunately, there is no work around I am aware of for now other than to work in 32-bit.
