Maybe, I should say more. This is what I did.
Added to .cshrc file:
setenv idl_startup .idl_startup_grady.pro
Invented .idl_startup_grady.pro with these lines:
!path=!path+":/<my idl libraries path>"
end
Then, I sourced .cshrc ("source .cshrc") and ran IDL.
To check, i type this while in IDL:
print,!path
The added path was not there. :-(
(remove MMER and ZOOKS to reply by e-mail.)
