Thanks for clearing that up. Last night I did what I should have before
asking, and tried to run the IDL Bridge demo at home on a computer with
only the VM installed. It didn't work at all.

Mark,
Yes, as you suspect, the IDL-IDL Bridge is of no real use in VM mode.
If execute was enabled it would be trivial to construct a simple IDL
command line, which would allow for "free" IDL command line operations.
This is the same reason the standard execute routine is disabled in VM
mode also.
Thanks for the comment on the email address. While not my first choice
(I normally lurk around the web as codepilot), codepod is a fun 2nd
choice.
Cheers,
-CP

Sorry, that URL is not quite as helpful as I thought. But the way I read
message 23 in the thread is that the IDL_IDLBridge object is supported
in the VM, but its Execute method is not. This was written by "CP", a
pseudonymous source who sounds pretty authoritative (and has a very cool
email address).
Hmm ... this implies the IDL_IDLbridge is pretty much useless in the VM.
You can create a bridge but you can't make it actually execute IDL code.
Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than me can confirm?

This has already been discussed on the group. See:
