Color printing of editor windows is implemented in the Macintosh version
of IDL.

If you're willing to use another editor, emacs (in idlwave mode) will
highlight syntax using color, and you can send the highlighted version
to a Postscript printer. Emacs is also great for indenting code. And
for everything in general.

For more info:

they could implement it, but until they do..

go to www.editplus.com

and download the shareware editor..
you can then create your own colorcoding for any
file type you like.. it even has autocompletion
tricks.

it also has file open from ftp option, and unix/win syntax
so that you can open and transfer files from one platform
to the other..

only drawback is you have to define your own colorcoding..
mine is primitive, and many commands are missing..

hope this helps!

No, as far as I know, it is not possible.

It would certainly be a nice enhancement. :-)
