Well, good luck. What you have going for you is knowing that
ENVI is written in IDL, so you know it is possible. What you
may NOT have going for you is experience reading satellite
data files, working with widgets and ROIs, writing programs
that run on multiple platforms, etc. The reason most people
shell out the big bucks for ENVI is that time is money. :-)

If you've got plenty of the former, then probably most of
what you need to know can be found on the web site below or
in one or another of the books referenced there. We might
even be able to help here if you get to the point where
you can come up with a specific question.

Cheers,

David

P.S. I presume you may be lacking in IDL experience because
of the reference to TVSCL. That would be the *last* command
I would think of using if I were going to be tackling something
like this. :-)
