Multiple Spawn Commands [message #49294]

Dear IDL Gurus,

Is it possible to issue multiple Spawn commands in Unix IDL without
closing the shell? What I want to do is issue a very simple foreach
loop but i cannot call spawn long enough to input all the commands. I
think i might have to use the Unit keyword of spawn but i'm not sure
how it works. Due to the simplicity of what I want to do I might be
able to do it in fewer commands in Unix but I don't have enough
experience in Unix to know how. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I want the following commands issued in Unix:

change to desired directory
foreach i ( file1 file2 file3 ... )
...file_dump.pl -$i ...
end

To do this I have the following:
spawn, foreachcommand
spawn, filedumpcommand
spawn, endcommand

but this obviously does not work.

Thanks,
Ryan.
