hi Thomas,

i'm not sure how this is different depending on what machine you're
on, but in unix idl can execute code that's in a file by the following
line which i put into a shell script or queue batch file:

idl go.pro > log

here go.pro is a file i have where i set the paths of my extra idl
directories, execute a main program (given in another file main.pro),
and exit, i.e. go.pro's contents are:

!PATH = EXPAND_PATH('+~/prog/idl:' + !PATH)
.rnew main.pro
exit

executing the script/submitting the batch file then runs my idl job
piping output to the file log instead of the screen and exits upon
completion.

best,
-Johnny
