The hint about redirecting standard error as well will work; on the
other hand, maybe you should look into using the "Callable IDL" feature
present from v4.0 on up. Get the "IDL Advanced Development Guide" from
RSI for instructions in how to use it. One advantage of Callable IDL is
you won't need to use temporary files to retreive IDL output back into
your program; you access the variables directly.
