Yeah, I know. I installed it, then threw it away. Mac OS is not
multitasking (in truth, despite looking like it), so IDLwave does not
work in Emacs on Mac OS.

Geez. Have you ever seen the GUI on the OSX? It looks exactly as the
name of the system *reads* - "o-o-sex". Very sexy. Even a little scary -
I am not sure I like it when your toolbar swells up when you happen to
move the mouse over it, and your image files snake out of their
locations in the form of a steam swirl over a coffe cup, then pop open
with a noise. I am *not* upgrading to OSX any time soon. So I will just
take my pleasure in watching the rest of you guys enjoying the IDLwave
mode :-)
