I don't know how clever this is, but it worked for me:

IDL> string_array=['one ','string ','split ','into ','many ','array elements']
IDL> help,string_array & print,string_array
STRING_ARRAY STRING = Array[6]
one string split into many array elements
IDL> byte_array=byte(string_array)
IDL> byte_array=reform(byte_array,n_elements(byte_array))
IDL> byte_array=byte_array[where(byte_array ne 0)]
IDL> one_string=string(byte_array)
IDL> help,one_string & print,one_string
ONE_STRING STRING = 'one string split into many array elements'
one string split into many array elements

PLEASE would someone outside of gsfc let me know if you see this!
I've been having all sorts of trouble posting lately.
Tia.
