Well, here's the problem. On Windows 7 computers, I
can't write into those directories, because I don't
own them, even though I am nominally the "administrator"
of my machine. (This is an honorary title Windows bestows
on chumps who believe they know how to manage a computer.)
I'll have to investigate how to change the file permissions,
but I believe it involves giving up claim to your first-born
son. :-(

I can, of course, save the file in a local directory
and make sure that directory is found before the IDL
lib directory is found. But, you and I both know
well enough that solutions that require users
to userstand their IDL path are not exactly
what most people refer to as "robust"! ;-)

Thanks for this!

Cheers,

David
