It looks like you need to include the function CORREL_IMAGES.PRO in your
!PATH. Presumably you could find a copy of CORREL_IMAGES.PRO in the same
location that you found CORREL_O.PRO
Right now, since IDL can't find the function CORREL_IMAGES(), it assumes that
it is a variable name. But since the keyword syntax is not valid for
a variable, IDL returns a syntax error.
It always struck me that IDL could be more intelligent in this case, and
if it sees a variable with a keyword syntax, that it return the more useful
error message:
%Unable to find function CORREL_IMAGES.PRO
