It looks like you are trying to use the sample startup.pro file
from my book.

http://csrp.tamu.edu/downloads/idl/startup.pro

This file is not an IDL procedure, so you cannot run it at the
command line like this

IDL> startup

It can be executed as an IDL script, like this

IDL> @startup

but normally it is set to run automatically when starting IDL
(hence the name startup.pro), either by setting a system variable
for the shell (for Linux or OS X), or by setting an IDL preference.

I have no experience running IDL on Windows, but I assume that
you are running using the IDL Development Environment (DE). If so,
look at the preferences options in the DE.

You may need to make some changes in the startup.pro file to
be consistent with your set up. For example, the startup.pro
file expects to find an "idl" directory, not an "ITT/IDL" directory.

Perhaps some Windows experts can help here.

I suggest opening up startup.pro and posting line 1. If we can see the code, we might be able to tell what the error is.
