That might work, but it might screw up other windows which need to be a
certain size. There is no pre-set IDLWAVE variable for this, but you can
easily "advise" the appropriate function to do what you want:
(defadvice idlwave-display-buffer (after shrink-idl-window activate)
"Keep the IDL window height to 1/3 the frame height."
(if (equal buf (idlwave-shell-buffer))
(set-window-text-height (get-buffer-window buf) (/ (frame-height) 3))))
I simply use a dedicated frame for *idl* (see
idlwave-shell-used-dedicated-frame).
