Check out SubEthaEdit for the Mac (RSI Sales Engineer put this
together). I use it next to an OS X console window running command
line IDL. In other words, Edit in SubEthaEdit, compile and run from
the IDL command line.

Once you have installed the above, then download/install the IDL 'Mode'

If the OP prefers vi over emacs, there is a idl major mode for vim
(or whatever the equivalent terminology is).

IDLWave is really cool except it uses third most awful editor (behind
Notepad and pico) known to man. Viva vi! ;-)

Absolutely, use JD Smith's idlwave mode for editing in emacs.

IDLWAVE (I'm a *huge* fan)
http://idlwave.org

emacs for apple? (I'm not a user)
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unix_open_source/emacs .html

Hope this helps.
