The old IDL mode does no longer work for Emacs 20, because of a name
space conflict with another mode (idl-mode in cc-mode.el). Goto

http://www.strw.leidenuniv.nl/~dominik/Tools/idlwave/

and get the IDLWAVE mode from there. You need to adapt the stuff in
.emacs in order to make it work - see the INSTALL file of the
distribution.
