Yes, I would expect that, but the test is this:
IDL> test1234
Does that work? (Starting in a fresh IDL session, of course.)
Cheers,

FWIW, OS X is based on FreeBSD, not Linux.
Mac HFS+ filesystems under OS X 10.3 are case preserving, but not case
sensitive. OS X 10.4 offers the option of creating case-sensitive
filesystems.
Different operating systems have different rules for handling case, so
it is always a good idea to use only lower case for file names. That
makes it a lot easier to move IDL source files.
That said, I don't understand why IDL won't find your file.

You are correct in your diagnosis. I'm sure it is
documented *somewhere*. :-)
