This is answered in the FAQ:

T08. Are there any editors that support IDL programming?

Yes. Emacs has a major mode for editing IDL code, idl.el, written by
Chris Chase. This is now maintained by Phil Williams
(williams@irc.chmcc.org), bug reports should be sent to him. The most
up to date version of idl.el may be obtained from Phil's ftp site at

ftp://irc.chmcc.org/pub/idl_emacs/

Other possible sources are

ftp://eos.crseo.ucsb.edu/pub/idl/
ftp://fermi.jhuapl.edu/pub/idl_emacs/

Get the files: idl.el and idl-shell.el


============================================================ ==========

If you're using emacs 20, you'll need to change idl-mode to idlpv-mode
everywhere in the two files for this to work correctly. I guess the
other IDL language has stolen the idl-mode from us.

Sure, the official site is ftp://irc.chmcc.org/pub/idl_emacs/
Some patches were posted to the newsgroup after the release of IDL 5.0
and never incorporated to the official versions, as far as I know.

You can get the patched versions (or simply the text of the posted
patches) at http://www.mpae.gwdg.de/mpae_RZ/software/idl/

Best regards
Kevin
