Awesome, thanks! It worked.
Is alot of IDL un-documented or am I just not looking hard enough?

I believe IDL_STARTUP should be in uppercase letters.
I wouldn't put too much faith in the CASE of instructions
in the IDL documentation. They don't seem to be terribly
consistent. Better to do what you know is correct. :-)
