Re: Displaying before running

[Alex Lancaster]

There must be some sort of pre-science going on here. I was contemplating this
exact problem just before logging in and checking my e-mail.

If anybody knows how to do it - I also would like to know - it's
frustrating missing
the first time step of the simulation! I often want to check if my
initialisations
are behaving themselves and I *just* miss them, so to speak...
