Try this:
setenv IDL_PATH /mynewdirectory:$IDL_PATH
or
setenv IDL_PATH /mynewdirectory:<DEFAULT>
both should be equivalent.

I wish. I've been laying hardwood floors. Let's just
say any plans I had to leave IDL programming and enter
the woodworking trades has been put on a permanent hold. :-(
Cheers,

P.S. I'm sore in a couple of places I didn't even know
it was *possible* to be sore in.

OK
Checked up
IDL_PATH is set by our sysadmin to <DEFAULT_DIR>
When this parameter is passed, a whole bunch of dirs is
in !path when I start up.
I tried passing setenv IDL_PATH="IDL_PATH /mynewdirectory"
But this didn't work either.

Quick answers. I assume you are running Unix, since that's what it
sounds like from your post:
* if you have an idl_setup script that runs in your login files, then
right after that, put the following statement:
setenv IDL_PATH $HOME/mymodule:$IDL_PATH
or the equivalent in your shell language
* if you are using a default "idl" script, then you won't be able to
set the path variable in your login ahead of time. You can still
use a start-up script. In your login file put something like this:
setenv IDL_STARTUP ~/.idl_startup.pro
and in .idl_startup.pro put this:
!PATH = '~/mymodule:' + !PATH

I'd get Ronn Kling's wonderful new book _Calling C
from IDL_. Everything you ever wanted to know in there. :-)
You can order directly from Ronn:

Add the directories to your !PATH system variable
in exactly that order.
> Must I set a environment variable??
You don't have to, but many people do. The !Path
system variable obtains its information from the
IDL_PATH environment variable.
Cheers,
David
