I new to IDL but have lots of experience in other programming
languages.

It appears that all nested control statements IF/CASE/WHILE etc force
me to
suffix every line with & $ to avoid syntax errors.
Is there any way of ridding myself of this pain?

Example:

name = 'Larry'
CASE name OF & $
'Larry': PRINT, 'Stooge 1' & $
'Moe': PRINT, 'Stooge 2' & $
'Curly': PRINT, 'Stooge 3' & $
ELSE: PRINT, 'Not a Stooge' & $
ENDCASE

Thanks,
Tony.
