Just to satisfy everybody's curiousity, the limitation I was referring to was
that IDL 5.4 doesn't properly flush standard output. For example, try this
simple script with the command "at -c -f testfile now"

#!/bin/csh
idl << done
print,'Hello'
done

You won't get any output at all with IDL 5.4. RSI is aware of this problem.
