Under windows (at least) you can create a stand-alone version of your program
by saving it as a .sav file (see David's excellent web site:
http://www.dfanning.com/tips/idl_icon.html) although I don't think this will
help you much passing the filename into the code.
I'd like to think there was a better way, but you could associate the file
extension (.b00) with a DOS-script (or perl script or whatever you like to
use). Have the script create a tiny IDL batch file with the clicked-filename
written in it, e.g.
custard_load, "run_me.b00"
save this batch file to the disc (as startup_batch.pro, say), and then have
the script open IDL with the command line option for a startup file:
idlde -startupfile "C:\startup_batch.pro"
Not very elegant mind, but it might do the trick.
