Actually that is an older version of idl.el. I was told that I could
no longer archive the current version at that site some time ago. The
site esrg.ucsb.edu seems to be having problems. However, it was
posted some time ago that you can use the following anonymous FTP
location instead:

eos.crseo.ucsb.edu

in directory pub/idl. I had no problem getting the files from there.
As an alternative, I could mail the files to you directly.

idl-shell.el is an emacs mode for running IDL as a subprocess of emacs
(like running a debugger, or the shell in an emacs buffer). It's a
hack, but it does give you some limited debugging ability (the ability
to set breakpoints at the line the emacs point is on in a source
file).

Let me know if you have any problems with these. I try to fix bugs (I
know of at least one in idl.el and I am sure there are many in
idl-shell.el)
