Dear Patrick
on linux I have always to use ksh (pdksh) to run this install scripts.
If you know it runs with tsch you could run it by
> tsch RSI-DIR/idl_6.0/bin/idl_setup
If this is the only reason to change the shell I think this is not
necessary.

I thought I would give the bash shell a try. (Please keep in mind that
I am a unix novice or, in other words, I don't know what I am doing.)
Both methods on how to alter the shell permanently work. Thanks!
Going back the the bash shell, the suggestes cmd line does the
following:
$ tsch RSI-DIR/idl_6.0/bin/idl_setup
-bash: tsch: command not found
idl does have a bash script at idl_6.0/bin
Patrick-Fords-Computer:/idl_6.0/bin patrickford$ more idl_setup.bash
# Bash shell commands to define IDL environment variables and aliases.
#
# This script can be used by IDL users who use Bash as their
interactive shell
# to define the environment variables and aliases required by IDL
# related commands (idl, idlde, idlhelp, idldemo) if the symbolic
links to
# the default directory (/usr/local/rsi/idl) are not being used.
#
# Bash users should run idl_setup from their .profile file
# using the following command:
#
# . /usr/local/rsi/idl_6.0/bin/idl_setup.bash
#
RSI_DIR=/usr/local/rsi
IDL_DIR=/usr/local/rsi/idl_6.0
export IDL_DIR RSI_DIR
alias rsilicense=$IDL_DIR/bin/rsilicense
alias idl=$IDL_DIR/bin/idl
alias idlde=$IDL_DIR/bin/idlde
alias idldeclient=$IDL_DIR/bin/idldeclient
alias idlhelp=$IDL_DIR/bin/idlhelp
alias idlman=$IDL_DIR/bin/idlman
alias idlrpc=$IDL_DIR/bin/idlrpc
alias idldemo=$IDL_DIR/bin/idldemo
___________________________________
Trying a variety of different paths to run it, I get the same basic
message:
$ idl_setup.bash
-bash: idl_setup.bash: command not found
Usually this turns out to be some trivial solution, but I don't yet
know what I am doing wrong here. I thought I could invoke a script by
typing in its name into the shell while I was in that directory.
Clues appreciated. Thanks in advance.
