Hello, Emacs users,
I have uploaded IDLWAVE 4.8. As always you can find it here:
http://www.strw.leidenuniv.nl/~dominik/Tools/idlwave
Changes in version 4.8
---------------------
- The shell preserves the command history between sessions. See
new variables `idlwave-shell-command-history-file' and
`idlwave-shell-save-command-history'.
Note that JD posted some ugly code a few month ago which had the
same effect. If you copied that code into .emacs, remove it again.
Saving the command history is now the default, no extra actions
required.
- New variable `idlwave-indent-to-open-paren' which can be used to
turn off deep indentation of continuation lines. Example:
x = function_a(function_b(function_c( a, b, $
d, c)))
- The library catalog can be updated with a background job so that
you can continue to work while it runs.
- A double prefix argument to `idlwave-shell-print' evaluates
and prints the current region as an expression.
- When the IDL process under the shell exits, it runs
`idlwave-shell-sentinel-hook'.
- Fixed bug with deleting last window on IDL exit.
- Fixed bug (exponential regexp) with parsing Liam Gumley's routine
headers.
- Carsten

THANKS!!! The idlw instead of idlwave did it !!! No more xterm !!!
Hurraaaaah!

PS: Unfortunately, this was about the only thing that worked today ;-(

I'll put this into the manual.

(autoload 'idlwave-shell "idlw-shell" "IDL/WAVE Mode code" t)
in .emacs is missing.
It is in the INSTALL file. If you use the XEmacs package, maybe I
forgot to make this an autoload. I'll check.

Oh, how I would love to be able not to look back ;-) Just that xemacs
still complains with "Cannot open load file idlwave-shell". I had to
leave out the --geometry argument, because that create one window
named "--geometry" and another window named "80x32". Now I see a
scratch window open and then the above error message.

I am not sure if I understand what you mean with "editing window". Do
you mean the Emacs frame, or do you mean the fact that normally
IDLWAVE splits the Emacs frame into two windows, one for source and
one for the shell?
You can start XEmacs without any window with the -nomap option I
believe. I don't think Emacs supports this, and I don't think this is
what you mean.
If you want to launch emacs normally, but immediately start with the
IDLWAVE shell, do this
xemacs -f idlwave-shell &
If you want that the IDLWAVE shell is the only thing visible in the
Emacs frame, do this
xemacs -f idlwave-shell -f delete-other-windows &
If you want to run Emacs inside the xterm (a non-X Emacs), use the
option -nw (no-window)
xemacs -nw -f idlwave-shell -f delete-other-windows &
Note that some keybindings (like ALT and HYPER keys) don't work in an
xterm. Also, the mouse is not available.
I seem to remember that JD has a button on his desktop which launches
a process like one of the above. Want to comment, JD?
Hope this helps

Hi Carsten,
thanks again for keeping up the maintenance of this great tool! May
I use the opportunity to ask one question (feature already there else
request): Is there a chance to start (X)emacs directly with an IDL
shell but no editing window. When I am only "using" IDL (as opposed to
develop applications), I would like to have something simple like the
"idl" command to get to a command line interface directly. Are there
any XEmacs options to do that? I realize this might be difficult for
XEmacs first has to find out that I want to use the idlwave mode...
Regards,
Martin
