Yeah, just confirmed it - was lacking a '+' in my export IDL_PATH line
my .bash_profile - didn't have the subdirectories on my path.
It's now accepting the strsplit lines, but not the READFITS - so I've
got to go on a hunt for the NASA IDL library.
Thanks again!

Hi David,
I get
IDL> Print,FILE_WHICH('strsplit.pro')
% Variable is undefined: FILE_WHICH.
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$
IDL>
Which tells me the installation is messed up if IDL can't find its own
resources. This sounds like a job for my sysadmin rather than you
guys :)
Thanks for the reply - I hadn't come across FILE_WHICH before, which
goes to show I always learn something new every time I come here...

Can't find it on your path? What does this tell you?
IDL> Print, File_Which('strsplit.pro')
