So you want to run a batch file in another IDL process? So this is not
really to do with the JOURNAL command.
I could not get this to work on Windows, but it was fine on Mac OS X.
You should be able to get rid of the @-sign from your SPAWN command.
When I specified the full path to the idl.exe program and to the batch
file, it looked like it found the batch file, but did not run it.
Do you really need to run another IDL process? i.e., it is not good
enough to do the following?
IDL> @my_script
Alternatively, if this needs another IDL process, could you use the
IDL_IDLBridge?

no it isn't it should run without an additional user input.

hmm, not sure have to look at it, I just don't want to loose
functionality which I have had before and can use on other non windows
systems.
I send a bug report to CREASO
