This solution is exactly what I was looking for.
Simple and makes sense to me.
Thanks a lot.

I don't have any idea how ENVI does this, but I think you
have a couple of choices. You can take your three images
(call them R, G, and B) and create a flat 2D gray-scale image
that you can display with any color table you like. A typical
formula for creating a gray-scale image that preserves color
"sensitivity" is this:
IDL> Y = 0.3*R + 0.59*G + 0.11*B
IDL> LoadCT, 22
IDL> Device, Decomposed=0
IDL> TV, BytScl(y)
Or, you can create what is called a "pseudocolor"
image by using the three (byte scaled) images directly
as the red, green, and blue channel of a 24-bit image:
IDL> image24 = [ [[Bytscl(R)]], [[BytScl(G]], [[Bytscl(B)]] ]
IDL> Device, Decomposed=1
IDL> TV, image24, True=3
Cheers,
David
