That's good to know. We are particularly interested in the VM for running
IDL whilst away at conference. To not be able to use DLM would render it
almost useless as all our data I/O uses either DLM or call_external.

This if from the VM FAQ (http://www.rsinc.com/idlvm/idlvm_faq.asp):
# While the IDL VM does allow IDL code to embed external objects such as
ActiveX controls and Java objects, the IDL VM cannot be used in
applications where IDL is called from an external environment. This means
that callable IDL applications and applications that use the IDL ActiveX
control (IDLDrawX) will not run.
# Use of the IDL EXECUTE function is not allowed. Note that the
CALL_PROCEDURE and CALL_FUNCTION routines are allowed and may be valid
replacements for many uses of the EXECUTE function.
