Oh, well, hummph. Pretty much standard operating
procedure around here. :-)

Sorry for asking such a foolish question! As it turns out I was using a
script to set things up which unset the env var in question. I'm embarrased
to admit that I blamed emacs/IDLWAVE instead of myself. Thanks for the
speedy reply JD.

Couple of options: define your environment variables in an emacs
startup like this:
(setenv "IDL_STARTUP" (concat CUBISM_REPOS "/idl_start"))
or just make sure your the emacs session in which IDL is running is
launched from within a shell which correctly sets the environment
(emacs then inherits the environment of the shell).
