Oh, well, if you are an EMACS guy, you have everything
you need (and more!) right there. I wouldn't bother with
the Workbench. The Workbench is only for those of us too
dense to ever learn EMACS. :-)
Cheers,
David

Do you know where to find some info/tutorial about working with the
bench? ;)
I have been using IDL for 8 years now and never get used to the whole
IDLDE/workbench thing. Just the command line and Xemacs did work out
quite well, but hey: Learn something new every day ;)
Regards,
Jan

Say what!? How is it possible to use the IDL Workbench
*without* projects? Wow. Learn something new every day. ;-)
Cheers,
David
P.S. Projects are just about the best thing about the
IDL Workbench, as long as you don't let the projects
manage your IDL path.

I don't have any projects. I tried understanding this new way of
using IDL when I got IDL 7 forced on me but I didn't make headway
after some meager effort. Instead, I just keep my IDL path updated
and compile things and keep my directories manually organized. Thus
when I try to use the IDL search function none of the options under
'scope' turn up any of my files.
Wingrep worked great. Thanks David.

Hi,
well, hum, it is not that hard...
1)select a file in your project
2)go the the search menu / search (ctrl + H)
3)in "containing text", put your search string
4)in "scope", select "enclosed project" (to search only on the current
project, or "workspace" to search for all files. Alternatively, click on
"working set", then "choose" then "new". You can them select all the
projects or individual files that interest you
5)click "search" or on "replace" The search results appear in a new
window and the "replace" dialog box let you process entry by entry, file
by file.

It is not full text search, but I tend to use IDLDoc's search. It
searches on comments, arguments, file and routine names, and tells in
the results which kind of matches were found.

does it help to define the extension pro as mimetype text/plain?

I use Windows Grep, one of the great pieces of software
out there!
