Perfect, I knew this had to be easy.
There are also different shells (for archive completeness)
tcsh - idl_setup (mine for annoying historical reasons)
bash - idl_setup.bash
ksh - idl_setup.ksh
Cheers,
Brian

This is how I switch between IDL 6.4 and IDL 7.0 on my MacBook Pro:
$ source /Applications/itt/idl64/bin/idl_setup.bash
$ idl
IDL Version 6.4.1, Mac OS X (darwin i386 m32). (c) 2007, ITT Visual
Information Solutions
IDL> exit
$ source /Applications/itt/idl70/bin/idl_setup.bash
$ idl
IDL Version 7.0, Mac OS X (darwin i386 m32). (c) 2007, ITT Visual
Information Solutions
IDL> exit
Cheers,
Liam.
