I have an answer to a question that you might be asking, but I'm not
entirely sure if I understand you!

My answer would be to fire up idlde instead of idl, and run your code.
Then there are a few buttons at the top which allow you to move up and
down the calling stack from where you stopped. The variable watch area
then changes to the variables in that level.

Access to the variable watch window is one thing that I miss when I use
idlwave...
