The name change sounds fine.

I thing it's great that you are interested in picking up the mode.
It's really much preferable to the IDL development environment.

While you are collecting suggestions, I'm wondering if the code for
identifying the line number of errors could be fixed. Since 5.0, IDL
inserts line-feeds into error messages, and the error parsing can't
handle that. A simple attempt at a fix was made, but it doesn't
really work consistently. RSI doesn't seem interested in disabling
the line-break insertion, so using 5.x with IDL-mode is a pain :-(

Thanks,

David.
