Neither do the guys I work with. ;-)

I agree completely. More important than the coding convention you
choose is that you remain consistent with whatever you choose. There is
no default style guide for IDL and RSI even uses inconsistent styles
within their own code, so that can't be used as a style basis either.
I'd recommend looking at RSI's coding style and the style used by those
here in the newsgroup. You'll find that there are certain styles you
like and certain ones you don't. It will take a while, but over time
you'll know how to write things so that you can read them easily. That
doesn't mean that any of the rest of us will think it is easy, however. ;-)
