Setting CENTER=1 or /CENTER is the same as leaving the CENTER
keyword off. (Don't ask!) If you want to perform convolution in
the "strictly mathematical" sense, you must explicitly set CENTER=0.
Is this what you were after:

IDL> print,convol(tt,k, center=0)
0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
0.000000 0.000000 1.00000 0.000000 0.000000
0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000

Cheers,
