Here's the scoop:

RSI says that it (the loss of redirected output) is a known bug in IDL 5.4 and is
fixed in IDL 5.5. The fix for IDL 5.4 is to use "flush":

flush, -1 ; Flush the output buffer so that informational messages can be written
flush, -2 ; Flush the output buffer so that stderr can be written

So the code below now works. That is, the output file now does in fact contain the
program's output.

$ cat runidl
print, 'Hello world'
flush, -1
flush, -2
exit

$ idl runidl > runidl.out

$ cat runidl.out
Hello world

Thanks to all who responded.
