Any ideas? I don't have any ideas, but I know of some bugs in idl.el with Emacs as well. I keep the most recent versions of idl.el and idl-shell.el available on our servers but don't have any elisp knowledge myself. I have been looking for someone to take over for quite some time, and the good news is, someone qualified is now seriously considering maintaining the IDL modes (more info after Easter). If someone comes up with bug fixes, I will be glad to include them. Best regards Kevin P.S.: Just in case you do not have the recent addresses. The IDL modes are at ftp://pivory.mpae.gwdg.de/pub/idl/emacs/ http://pivory.mpae.gwdg.de/pub/idl/emacs/ http://www.mpae.gwdg.de/mpae_RZ/software/idl/emacs/ For more information, see http://www.mpae.gwdg.de/mpae_RZ/software/idl/ RSI's copies are at ftp://ftp.rsinc.com/pub/user_contrib/emacs/ -- Kevin Ivory Tel: +49 5556 979 434 Max-Planck-Institut fuer Aeronomie Fax: +49 5556 979 240 Max-Planck-Str. 2 mailto:Kevin@Ivory.de D-37191 Katlenburg-Lindau, GERMANY http://ivory.de/
