Duh!

I guess I can be forgiven since the docs say:

"The COMPILE_OPT statement allows the author to give the IDL compiler
information that changes some of the default rules for compiling the
function or procedure within which the COMPILE_OPT statement appears."

So does everyone have

COMPILE_OPT IDL2

in their startup.pro?

RESET_SESSION does not re-run the startup.pro file, does it?
