I have no idea what you have named the IDL start-up file,
or where you have put it. But when you find it, I expect
you will also discover the source of this puzzle. :-)

Cheers,

David

P.S. You could start your search by examining the
environment variable IDL_STARTUP. :-)

Please send us the content of your IDL start-up file.

Cheers,

David

Your startup file should be defined in one of two ways (I use the
PREF_GET/PREF_SET way, as shown below):

IDL> print, getenv('IDL_STARTUP')

IDL> print, pref_get('IDL_STARTUP')
~/projects/idllib/src/mg_startup.pro
