Think of the @ symbol as meaning "include the contents of the
specified file at this point" where that text must be appropriate
for the current IDL mode. If you are in interactive mode the @ file
is called a batch file and must have the same syntax as you would
type in that mode. If you are in compile mode the file is called
an include file and the text may have the syntax used in routines.
