Follow David's advice as above. I did try this because it seemed odd
behavior you were describing. IDL does not complain if you have a
compile_opt statement outside of any routine in a file. It will change
the behavior of the main-level (but not the routines in the file). I
think I will make a list sometime of the most dangerous things IDL will
let you do.
