My advice? Forget it. :-)

Although IDL is advertised as cross-platform (and is to a
remarkable degree), you are about to learn how easy it is
to write non-compatible code. Figuring out all the nuances,
while immensely instructive, I figure will take you twice as long
as writing the code yourself. But, I could be wrong. I'm not
terribly familiar with the GUI Builder myself. :-)

Cheers,

David
