I do run isis in a ciao-configured shell, but I don't use any of the
ciao modules (like group, paramio, pixlib, region).  Sometimes I call
ciao tools from a slang program, mainly for test purposes when I want
to loop over many parameter values or files, or I run an isis-script
to make summary plots of a ciao data processing run.

To do this I unset the ciao-configured

unset ISIS_SRCDIR
unset SLANG_MODULE_PATH

and use the local installation (I don't believe you need to reset them
if you use your default configuration).  I'm usually not using
HEASOFT, so I don't unset as much as John does.

In general, I agree w/ John - for most applications you don't need
ciao and isis in the same window and you can run them independently.
My normal everyday spectral analysis is done w/out ciao tools.


Hope that helps,
