I don't know if there is another place that they are stored but you can find
all of the macros in your registry.

Just export the following branch:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Research Systems, Inc.\IDL\1\Macros

and then import it to your new systems registry by double clicking on the
.reg file.


Note that the "1" may be a 0 or 2 or 100 on your machine depending on how
many versions of IDL are (or have been?) installed. I don't know how they
are ordered, but I would guess it is by the order of installation (which in
my case was 5.4 then 5.5) so the 0 key contains data for 5.4 and the 1 key
for 5.5. Keep this in mind when you are importing them too. You might run
into complications if some of these machines have older/multiple versions of
IDL installed.
