If I understand you correctly, you want to log everything, i.e. both
stderr and stdout, to a file during your idl session.

If you start idl via an xterm, the simplest is probably to enable
logging. Something like
xterm -l -lf logfile -e idl &

will start idl in an xterm, and everything will be logged to the file
logfile.

This is for "my" xterm. The flags -l and -lf may not be the same
on your xterm.

To run it in your current window, you could redirect stderr to stdin
and then use tee to log to a file:
idl 2>&1 | tee logfile
(this is valid for sh, bash, ....)

But beware, I'm not sure if the terminal window output will
keep its nice default formatting. You need to try it yourself.
