Well, I tried this (idl 5.0.3, digital unix 4.0d, probably running ksh)
and its quite capable of finding files in directories with $ and [] in them
(though I didn't try both at once).

Are you sure vms_port.pro is in the said directory? Its not, for example,
VMS_PORT.PRO or vms_port.pro;1? IDL isn't case sensitive on routine names
but it is on files names, which is what .run implicitly uses.
