The release notes for V3.5.1 include the following bug correction.

8/25/93
Fixed a bug where if more than one string valued field was
passed into a system procedure or function via the _EXTRA
keyword, all strings would have incorrectly have the value
of the last string, or be the null string.

Also, there was an earlier question about TVRDC. This is a relic of
the old VMS IDL Version 1, where there were separate routines to read
an image display (TVRDC) and to read a plot at the terminal (CURSOR).
In the current version of IDL, TVRDC is an undocumented (and disparaged)
synonym for CURSOR.
