The language module that is available here
http://idl.tamu.edu/syntax_coloring.html
still works in BBEdit 9. (I'm running 9.6.)
The file "IDL Configuration.plist" is a simple Mac
plist file that contains the strings to search for
and highlight. It would be a simple matter to add
the new IDL 8 routines to the list, but I confess that
I don't know how to get a listing of IDL functions
and keywords.
The file was put together by Will Powell from Macquarie
University. His contact info is in the file.

BBEdit 7 was from before the codeless language modules, IIRC. These
days the proper way would be to create a clm for BBEdit. Inquiries are
best directed at the BBEdit mailing list, but be sure to read the
documentation first, a clm is not hard to create, although it can be
very tedious.
If anything came through from the old days, it should be in you
application support folder (within your home).
Hope this helps,
Maarten
