I wouldn't study them *too* closely. All the ones I looked
at did some kind of DEVICE, DECOMPOSED=0, which seems to
me to be a waste of a perfectly good 24-bit graphics card. :-)
Cheers,
David

I test to see if I am logged in with X windows enabled or not. If not,
I don't set up the device because that produces errors:
;;; DISPLAY
env = GETENV( "IDL_STARTUP" )
IF env eq 'IDL_no_X' THEN x=0 ELSE x=1
IF x THEN device, true = 24
IF x THEN device, decomposed = 0
IF x THEN device, retain = 2
IF x THEN snoect, /gray
delvar, env, x
;;; SYSTEM VARIABLES
!warn.obs_sysvars = 1 ; warn if using obselete system vars
!warn.obs_routines = 1 ; warn if obselete routine (COMPILE_OPT
obselete)
;;;!x.ticklen = ( !y.ticklen = ( !p.ticklen = -0.02 ) )
;;;!warn.parens = 1 ; warn if using parentheses (use []!)
;;;!EXCEPT = 2 ; turn on every once in a while (Ha!)
!edit_input = 1000
.com /home/mankoff/SNOE/env/snoesysvar
DEFSYSV, '!SNOE', snoesysvar(), 1 ; 1 = read_only
;;; PRE-COMPILE hack procedures
.com /Users/mankoff/local/IDL_lib/snoe_sw/map_continents.pro
.com /Users/mankoff/local/IDL_lib/snoe_sw/write_gif
; these let me write GIF images even without the license (write to PNG
and then spawn the 'nix convert utility), and my modified
map_continents that allows magnetic and paleo continent outlines via
keywords.

Thanks Jim. Unfortunately I bought the student's edition only 2 months
ago. It is based on idl 6.0. Furthermore, I use RedHat Linux and Mac
OSX only.
I tried someting like:
spawn, 'echo $PWD', p
!prompt=p+string(10B)+'IDL>'
Unfortunately when I use arrow up to go through my command history, I
get repeated lines with my pwd over and over, once for every arrow-up.
