Just curious as to whether anyone knows how, if at all possible,
to get idl-shell mode running in NT emacs. I stuck the following
lines in my .emacs file:

------------------------------------------------------------ --
;; This is support for running idl as a subprocess of emacs
;; as defined in the file
;; c:\emacs_nt\emacs-19.30\lisp\idl-shell.el

(defvar idl-shell-explicit-file-name "e:\rsi\idl40\idl32"
"*If non-nil, is the command to run IDL.
Should be an absolute file path or path relative to the current
environment
execution search path.")

(autoload 'idl-shell "idl-shell" "Run IDL as an inferior
process" t)
------------------------------------------------------------ ---

and when I do: M-x idl-shell , here's what shows up in the
message buffer:

------------------------------------------------------------ ---
Loading easymenu...
Loading easymenu...done
Loading idl-shell...done
Spawning child process: invalid argument
------------------------------------------------------------ ---

I looked through idl-shell.el but not being much of an elisp'er
I didn't discover anything that would help.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (If I
can get this to work I may never have to quit emacs again !)
