How would you know which .pro file is related to which shell?
Recompiling and setting breakpoints etc needs to be done in the
correct shell. If you have a good suggestion on who to know this, I
might put it in.

Somewhat related, I would like to be able to have multiple IDL shells
going at the same time.

`M-x idl-shell' should do that. You can bind that to a global key
like this
(define-key global-map "\C-ci" 'idl-shell)
which would bind it to `C-c i'.

I have not looked into idl-shell too much, so this will take some
time. Its on the To Do list.

The next version will have functions `idlwave-beginning-of-block' and
`idlwave-end-of-block' for this.

Doesn't "M-x idl-shell" suffice? It could be my setup that's
special, but I wouldn't think so... I use this command
"hundreds" of times (ok several tens of times, then) per day
when developing object/pointer code....

Carsten -
I have no objections to a name change. In fact, I'm delighted that
you are taking it upon yourself to maintain the mode!
Should we idl-mode users start a wish list? Here's a start:
1. I wish to be able to start a new IDL shell after exiting without
going back to a .pro file.
2. I wish that flags for lines compile or execute errors would
disappear with the next successful compile/execute.
3. I wish to be able to quickly toggle between the begin and end
of a block.

On the other hand, the update by every user needs only be done
when/if the user installs the next version of the idl-mode, and
it's a pretty simple search-and-replace operation.

I second the suggestion. Can't think of a better name, either..
