Primarily because once you stick a prefix on a program,
the code has a way of living (and embarrassing you!)
forever. :-(

And most of my program names are already too long to
type comfortably, and I've had a typing class. I don't
think there is a good solution. But I do think RSI ought
to come up with something beside the order in !PATH
for sorting this stuff out. In the IDLDE it is easy
to rearrange your path to suit you, but this is pretty
much a nightmare in the UNIX world, as far as I can
tell. At least no one taking an IDL programming class
from me and working with a UNIX machine has the foggiest
idea how to do it.

Cheers,

David
