Come on, David! There are lots of other possibilities. Unfortunately
most of them are even uglier than writing .pro files on the fly. :-)

One Unix you can send information to console-mode IDL via
stdin. Eg. typing this at a shell prompt...

echo "plot, findgen(11) & wait, 1" | idl

...shows a plot window for a second.
