There are many times I want to copy several lines of code and paste
them to the command line. This does not work using IDLDE for Windows -
only the first line of code gets copied. Therefore I end up copying
line by line (which is tedious) or just re-typing the command.
I'm not sure if this is a problem for "young" or "old" farts, or maybe
just my own problem, but I know it has bothered me many times.

Ports of emacs for WinXX and Mac exist. But you are right, emacs is not
the only editor. But idlde has not the features requested by Martin
Schultz; emacs with idlwave-mode has. As long with other usefull things,
like code templates, online help...
Later.
Nicolas.

But then, Emacs is available for both Win and Mac.
You won't get all the nice features you'd get from IDLWAVE under UNIX (it
took me some time ,though, to trim IDLWAVE so it would work - I haven't
even tried that with the newest version), but you would get all Martin
asked for.

Emacs is not the only editor.
WinXX and Mac users will also benefit from it

Try emacs with idl mode. I use it every day, and it has nearly the same
features than idlde and some extra nice features: code templates,
powerful emacs editing features and all that you request.

All this (and much more) is available under Linux if you use Emacs
with the IDLWAVE package. Jump ship!
