Thank you for your answers, I didn't get the solution I was looking
for, but at least I discovered a work-around.

This time I try to be more clear: If I have a program like

pro test
openr,1,"nofile"
close,1
end

and run it interactively. I get:

IDL> .compile test
% Compiled module: TEST.
IDL> test
% OPENR: Error opening file. Unit: 1, File: nofile
No such file or directory
% Execution halted at: TEST 2 /home/hyvarine/test.pro
% $MAIN$
IDL>

No suprises here.

If I compile it and then run it like this

IDL> .compile test
% Compiled module: TEST.
IDL> resolve_all
% Compiled module: RESOLVE_ALL.
% Compiled module: PATH_SEP.
% Compiled module: UNIQ.
IDL> save,/routines,filename='test.sav'
IDL>
[hyvarine@rokka somedir]$ idl -rt="test.sav"

I will get a dialog box (by DIALOG_MESSAGE, I think) saying "The
following error was encountered: OPENR: Error opening file. Unit: 1,
File: nofile Please consult the supplier of the application.". My
problem was how to get rid of this box and get the error messages back
to stderr (or stdout). No one seems to know that. But at least now I
know how to change my program to

pro test2
catch, theError
if (theError ne 0) then begin
catch, /cancel
goto, theEnd
endif
openr,1,"nofile"
theEnd:
close,1
end

and this way get rid of the message for all. This is enough for me.

regards,
Otto Hyvärinen
