OK, Carsten, here's some feedback from a would-be user.

I've tried IDLWave in the past, and always ended up disabling it because I was
unable to customize it to my satisfaction. It looks like a very useful tool.
This turorial certainly helps, but I'm still unable to figure out how to
control some of the settings.

Basically, I want complete control of text layout in the buffer.

1. I enter

FOR i=0,n
stuff
ENDFOR

When I hit the <CR>, IDLWave reformats this by indenting the ENDFOR 3 spaces:

FOR i=0,n
stuff
ENDFOR

How do I prevent this reformatting?

2. How do I make tabs in IDLwave mode work the way they do in text mode?
Currently, the first tab moves the cursor under the first character on the last
line, but subsequent tabs fall into a black hole.

FWIW, here are the settings I've come up with so far:

(setq indent-line-function 'indent-relative) ; I thought this would give me the
; same behavior I get in text-mode.
(setq idlwave-hanging-indent nil)
(setq idlwave-end-offset 0)
(setq idlwave-main-block-indent 0)
(setq idlwave-code-comment "klajsdfjpawe") ; This is an attempt to disable
; this function.
(setq idlwave-no-change-comment ";...")
(setq idlwave-continuation-indent 0)
(setq idlwave-block-indent 0)
