Thank you, thank you!
But I do get errors on the following lines:
: (set-face-foreground font-lock-keyword-face "DarkGreen")
: (set-face-foreground font-lock-variable-name-face "Magenta")
as well as on the (fast-lock-mode 1), so I have commented them out for
now. Also only the strings and comments are getting colorized.
My inexpert reading of the idl.el file suggests that some of these
features won't work with emacs version < 19.29. This is still a lot
better than before!
Thanks again,
Gwyn

Maybe add something like:
;;setup display colors for font-lock
(set-face-foreground font-lock-comment-face "FireBrick")
(set-face-foreground font-lock-string-face "DarkOrchid")
(set-face-foreground font-lock-keyword-face "DarkGreen")
(set-face-foreground font-lock-function-name-face "Navy")
(set-face-foreground font-lock-variable-name-face "Magenta")
(set-face-foreground font-lock-reference-face "Yellow")
to your idl-mode-hook. Also try adding (fast-lock-mode 1) for real-time
re-fontification.
Good Luck,
JD
