I would suggest using a simple console editor on the server such as
emacs or vi. I usually have multiple terminals windows logged into the
remote machine -- one for an editor, one for an IDL command line, one
for a system command line, etc. I believe it is possible to use X (I
think even if you're local machine is on Windows, but there is extra
software you need) to run the IDL Workbench and have it show up on your
local machine, but my experience is that is a very slow and frustrating
experience.
