I think you are trying to run the IDL SAVE files like an executable
program. It is not executable! The garbage you are seeing is the
Unix shell trying to interpret the binary data as shell commands. I
think you will still have to make a small script which loads the SAVE
file and runs the right start-up function. You could do something
like this:
--------
#!/bin/sh
idl << EOF
path = '/home/leonid/'
restore, path+'Xe.sav'
leonid_main
exit
EOF
--------
You will have to make this executable, be sure the path is correct,
and define leonid_main to start whatever programs you want to start.
The comments by R. Bauer about resolving all of the routines are
probably appropriate too.

You missed resolve_all.
Note RESOLVE_ALL does not resolve procedures or functions that are called via
CALL_PROCEDURE, CALL_FUNCTION, or EXECUTE. Class methods are not resolved either.
Similarly, RESOLVE_ALL does not resolve widget event handler procedures based on
a call to the widget routine that uses the event handler. In general, it is best
to include the event handling routine in the same program file as the widget
creation routine�building widget programs in this way ensures that RESOLVE_ALL
will "catch" the event handler for a widget application.
You should run once the widget and normally you should have defined all your
event_handlers in the routine where you defined your widget.
