Adding to David's notes,
bear in mind that in order to be on the safe side, the IDL version you
use should better be the same as the costumer will use. in addition,
you should make sure that all procedures will be pre-compiled and
defined when you save them.
if things do not work right on the costumers machine, check the error
message carefully. it will possible define the procedures or functions
which are unrecognized and which you have to add to your save
command. see also IDL help on SAVE.

Your Virtual Machine user is not going to be able
to type or pass information, since there are no
provisions for doing this, except what you provide
(e.g., text widgets, file dialogs, etc.). There
is no IDL command line in the Virtual Machine (VM).
I'd say you have more work to do before you
give this to anyone. (I'm not even sure the VM
is useful without a GUI, but perhaps someone is
using it like that.)
Once you get the input and output figured out, you
can create your application and ready it for the VM
by following these instructions for creating a stand-alone
application:
