David,

Your example works fine for me in Solaris 7 with IDL 5.3:

$ cat runidl
print, 'Hello world'
exit

$ idl runidl
IDL Version 5.3 (sunos sparc). (c) 1999, Research Systems, Inc.

Hello world

$ idl runidl > runidl.out
IDL Version 5.3 (sunos sparc). (c) 1999, Research Systems, Inc.

$ cat runidl.out
Hello world

This might be a platform specific bug in IDL 5.4 on Solaris. You might
want to check with RSI tech support.

Cheers,
Liam.
