Block statements (statements with BEGIN and END) only work in procedures
and functions, not in interactive mode.

If you need to learn how to program procedures/functions, you probably should
start off with the online books 'Using IDL' and 'Building IDL Applications'.
You will find them by pressing the 'Contents' button of the IDL online help.

Best regards,
