I like jEdit the java based "programmers" text editor. www.jedit.org
It has support for a wide range of languages and a ton of plug ins.

You can pick up the idl_pvwave jedit files from:

http://www.acoustics.washington.edu/~towler/programs/jedit_i dlfiles.zip

I haven't updated the package for 6.2, yet, and the pvwave in the name
is not to imply that there is any real pvwave support but to
differentiate the package from the interface definition language IDL
package.
