There's an undocumented (or very poorly documented - I don't know where)
keystroke on the Open File dialog box. Use ctrl-l and another box opens where
you can enter a full path to a file.

Hi Philip,
I'm in two minds as to what you mean here. If you mean opening a data
file for manipulation, I would use:
openu, lun, '/full/add/ress/myfile', /get_lun
Have a look at '?openu' to find out which of OpenU, OpenR, OpenW you
want to use.
The alternative is that you want to look at .pro and .sav files in the
workbench window.
Assuming you have your !Path set up correctly, and are storing your
files somewhere IDL knows to search, just type
.edit <myfile>
Regards,
Chris
