For some reason PVCS is unable to utilize Windows' "Browse in same
window" function. When trying to open .pro files, multiple instances
of IDL are started. What I would like to happen is
every time I open a file in PVCS, each respective file is opened
within the same instance of IDL already running. (I've
already gone through the file association process and tried to select
"Browse in same window" but the option is greyed out.) Any help is
greatly appreciated!

PVCS is I believe a Version Control System. The P could be Personal I am not
sure.
idlde does not support this (unfortunately) emacs does.
It is more an emacs question or it is again a posting in the wrong group.
If it is the right group then I am very interested to hear more about the
PVCS and idlde.

What is PVCS?
What I can tell you is how to get Explorer to open .pro files in an
existing instance of IDL, rather than starting a new one.
In an Explorer window go to the "Tools/Options" menu and then to the
"File Types" tab in the resulting dialogue box. Select the extension
"PRO", file type "IDL source file" and click on the Advanced
button. Select the Open action from the list and press the "Edit"
button. Now (here's where we get to the interesting bit) check the
"Use DDE" checkbox and in the fields below it enter:
DDE Message: [open("%1")]
Application: IDLDE
DDE Application Not running: (blank)
Topic: System
So I guess what you need to do is persuade PVCS to open .pro files via
DDE. Good luck.
