I made the enclosed jnl.pro, and I also put it in my startup-file.
The purpose is to save a few keystrokes, make sure you're allways
journalling, and that you can can easily close the journal file and
start a new one.
(I seem to recall that in IDL on (NT-)windows, FLUSH doesn't seem to
work.)
But I didn't get to the point where I could machine-edit the
journal-file.
