Hello Jesus:

I have seen myriad examples "hang" V6. Some I have debugged, many
others have not had my attention yet.

I changed the code above to this:

Clear[JuliaTest];
JuliaTest[x_, y_, n_, c_] := Module[{z, num = 0},
  z = x + y I;
  While[Abs[z] < 2.0 && num < n, z = z^2 + c; num++];
  num
  ]

Then this:

DensityPlot[
 JuliaTest[x, y, 50, -0.75 + 0.5 I], {x, 1.24,   1.27}, {y, -0.13,
-0.1}, PlotPoints -> 50, Mesh -> False,  ColorFunction -> Hue]

Then the "Julia Set" is shown.

I did not check much to see why the old code does not work.  Note that
I removed Complile[].

HTH

Regards..Roger W.
