Dear Bastienne


I am using the following trick.



PRO test
DEVICE,decomposed=0
TEK_COLOR
m=GETENV('VAR')

XYOUTS, 0.5, 0.5, m,color=4,chars=5,/NORM

WAIT,10
END

This must be saved for runtime usage.


And then this is described for linux bash:

a simple shell script named for example test.sh
with execute rights

export VAR=$1
idl -rt='/home/idl/test.sav'


test.sh 23 gives the result you wish to have

I believe in M$ it should work too but I don't remember at the moment
how environment variables were defined. Was it set ?

regards

Reimar
