No I'm not using it from the command line.
I've already got it inside a .pro file.
I'm running it via NASA's SeaDAS library - perhaps this is the culprit?

$ seadas myprog.pro

I agree that it's very strange and contrary to all examples in the IDL
manuals.
Unfortunately if I don't use "& $" suffixes I get syntax errors.

In fact I'm already using begin/ends in my case statements.
I've read the IDL manuals on case statements.
This example was from the manual.
