Hi,
I wonder if it is possible to pass the command line arguments to
the IDL pro directly from the shell? Say in the csh shell, when I
type:
idl testpro x=5 y=1 <return>
the idl procedure testpro can get the arguments "x=5" and "y=1".
Thanks.

We do this with the following:
echo "testpro, x=5, y=1" | idl
This makes it like typing this line at the IDL command prompt. In this
case, though, you're really replacing your keyboard standard input with
a pipe as standard input. So if you want to be able to do further
processing from the command prompt, I believe you've lost that ability.
Widgets work fine, though.
