Hello,

I am new to mac systems and have recently acquired an intel mac and am
running mac os x 10.4 and I am having some trouble with the emacs
program I am running (GNU emacs 22.0.50.1). I have no problem with the
IDLWAVE characteristics of the emacs software ... my IDL code looks
good (has the proper color coding), the short cuts work as well. My
issue is when I go to run idl from emacs. In the IDLWAVE documentation
it says that to launch the idl shell type C-c C-s. I do that and idl
launches in a separate window (an xterm on x11) but does not appear
within a shell in emacs like it does when I run it on a linux system.
Then if I continue and type C-c C-d C-c to compile the program it gives
the following error:
idlwave-shell-send-command: You need to first start an IDL shell with
C-c C-s

In other words, it does not realize that IDL has already started. I
can get around this by just using emacs to do my editing and then use
idl separately to compile and run my programs but it is rather
cumbersome and I would like to take advantage of the full capabilities
of IDLWAVE. Incidentally, this also happens when I use xemacs under
x11.

Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
