Writing to a CD doesn't follow the same process as writing to a hard
drive or floppy disk. Typically, you have to create a CD image (iso
file) and then write the image to the CD. I think there is software
available that hides the details from you so you can just drag-n-drop or
create new files right in the CD's directory. However, you have to have
such a tool installed and running before your above IDL will work. Even
in that case, I don't know if it will work or not.... never tried it.
