Dear Chris,
I believe you have followed the previous thread: "Syntaxis highlighting in
IDL 6." If not you should do so.
I just want to say, it depends always on your experience. Sometimes I just
need only a simple editor e.g. vi.
If I need to debug a greater package I am using emacs (idlpvwave) or idlde.
emacs has a lot of benefits. You could format the code, You always see the
structure of the code (which "(" belongs to which ")" ) etc.
