Liam,
I think they want to avoid people writing their own idlde. If you have
execute, then you could theoretically read in from a commadn line, reform an
IDL command an d use the execute function to get your results. All that for
free. :-) No wonder, it is not available. But thats ok to me. I just have a
few gui apps that I would like to use on my laptop when I cannot be
connected to the license manager...
