Best way to reset the session? [message #34113]

I hope this question has an easy answer.
When running an IDL session, if I modify the
structure of an object definition and then recompile
the something__define.pro, IDL doesn't like that.
That's understandable.

In IDL 5.4 on Mac OS X, I could simply type
.reset_session--the memory of that object
would be expunged, AND (!) IDL would re-run
my startup.pro file so I'd have a true, fresh session
with all of my default parameters set up like new.

I've noticed that in IDL 5.6 (Mac, Linux, Sun) typing
.reset or .reset_session starts things anew, but
doesn't run my startup.pro file. It's now necessary
to exit and restart IDL.

For those of you working in a unix environment,
what's the best way to reset AND have your initializations
run upon doing so?

Thanks,
M. Katz
