I'd just like to point out that the directory name in question
contains a colon. Since a colon is the separator character for
multiple IDL paths, the thing is split in two:
"/home/ATSRPW$DKB300" plus "[TEST]"

Well, I tried this (idl 5.0.3, digital unix 4.0d, probably running ksh)
and its quite capable of finding files in directories with $ and [] in them
(though I didn't try both at once).
Are you sure vms_port.pro is in the said directory? Its not, for example,
VMS_PORT.PRO or vms_port.pro;1? IDL isn't case sensitive on routine names
but it is on files names, which is what .run implicitly uses.
