Routine Descriptions

Procedure:  CWD  [,newdir]
Purpose:    Change working directory

       /PICK   use dialog_pickfile to choose a directory
       PROMPT = STRING   - Changes prompt to STRING+newdir
                The value STRING is stored in a common block variable and
                is not required in subsequent calls to CWD
       PROMPT = 0    - Clear prompt string

Name: libs

(See ssl_general/misc/system/libs.pro)

PROCEDURE loadct2, colortable
   By default LOADCT2 uses the same color table used by LOADCT
   This can be changed in 3 ways:
   1) Use the FILE keyword to define a new file
   2) Define the environment variable IDL_CT_FILE to point to a new file
   3) Place a new color table file in the same directory as LOADCT2 that matches
         the name: 'colors*.tbl'.  (The last file found with file_search is used).

KEYWORDS:
   FILE:  (string) Color table file
          If FILE is not provided then LOADCT2
          Uses the environment variable IDL_CT_FILE to determine
          the color table file if FILE is not set.
common blocks:
   colors:      IDL color common block.  Many IDL routines rely on this.
   colors_com:
