I could use a typing class myself, I guess. :-(
Should be:
IDL> .Compile readsmd
IDL> al = readsmd("e:\data\9904100.dat")

Oh, dear. It looks like you could use a good book
on IDL programming. And probably a typing class,
judging from the evidence. :-(

Humm. Misspelled the READSMD program name.

Well, now you mistyped the name of the data file, but
IDL seemed to figure it out anyway. (I *love* IDL sometimes!)
Still, it can't find the file. Are you sure it is there?

I don't know. You mistyped the file name again (you need
a back slash after the colon), but you also forgot to type
RETALL (RETurn ALL the way back to the main level), so it's
hard to say.
I'd try this and see what happens:
IDL> .Compile readsm
IDL> al = readsmd("e:\data\9904100.dat")
Cheers,
David
