Thanks very much, Ben - that works. You have to write an extra section
to decode the arguments from strings, but it's way better than using a
file. Works like this, where age_fit0 is the original routine:
idl -vm=age_fit.sav -args crater_count_file polynom_file poly_index
chron_file chron_index fit_range
pro age_fit
cla=command_line_args(count=count)
crater_count_file=cla[0]
polynom_file=cla[1]
poly_index=fix(cla[2])
chron_file=cla[3]
chron_index=fix(cla[4])
fit_range=float([cla[5],cla[6]])
age_fit0,crater_count_file,polynom_file,poly_index,chron_fil e,chron_index,fit_range
end

Hi,
You might look into the newish command line switches ...

I haven't tried these with a VM but it seems like a nice fit.

Seems I didn't word that question so well...
I have a function like this:
age_fit,crater_count_file,polynom_file,poly_index,chron_file ,chron_index,fit_range
which outputs text a file with some values for an external program. I'd
like the user to be able to call this routine through the VM to get the
output file.
So is there a way to type something like:
idl -vm=age_fit.sav
crater_count_file,polynom_file,poly_index,chron_file,chron_i ndex,fit_range
?
Otherwise I suppose I can put them in a file and use David's
programrootdir to get them out.
thanks for any suggestions,
Greg
