David,

The START keyword came about from the discussion in this thread earlier this year:

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.lang.idl-pvwave/RYPTjDB KHoI/zYJ_n9gRn4MJ

where Chris explains his rationale for adding it:

"It's much faster to specify START than to add an offset to the indgen after you've created it."
