If you have IDL 8.2 (which it sounds like you do since it is giving you problems) then the online help is easily accessible, e.g. with the idlhelp system command , or by typing "?" or ONLINE_HELP at the IDL prompt, or clicking the HELP button in the IDLDE, or by pointing your browser to (for a Mac) to file:///Applications//help/online_help/IDL/idl.html If you don't have IDL 8.2, then Exelis makes it hard to study the new features since they don't have the online help available online. ( This contrasts poorly with Mathworks which keeps all the MATLAB documentation on its public website. ) However, you can always download a trial version of IDL 8.2. Even though IDL will be limited to the 7 minute demo mode, the documentation should be fully readable.
The FOREACH operator was introduced in IDL 8.0
The UNIQ() function is certainly present in IDL 8.2. Perhaps you don't have your !PATH set correctly to include $IDL_DIR/lib ? -Wayne
