IDL Workbench Path Woes [message #59339]

Folks,

Today I had a few minutes while a program was running, so
I tried to fix my IDL path woes. My problem is, I want
my Coyote directory FIRST on my IDL path. Now, my
Coyote directory is also a project in my IDL Workbench.

Here is what I tried. I went to IDL Preference Paths
and made the Coyote directory first on my Path. Then
I right clicked on the Coyote project and turned the
Update Path on Open button OFF. Then restarted IDL.
The Coyote directory is nowhere to be found on my
path. :-(

OK, so I made a startup file and included this line
in it:

!PATH = 'C:\IDL\Coyote\;' + !PATH

Now, when I start up, Coyote is the first thing on
my path. Hooray!

But not so fast, IDL is acting weird. I mean, weirder
than usually. Slow like. In fact, like its in some kind
of infinite loop. Can't get its attention. And sure
enough, my IDL session *never* finishes "analyzing code".
It will analyze code all day long!

So, aside from naming my Coyote project AAAA_Coyote, how
do I get it first on my path?

Cheers,

David
