And you can even set this up to work semi-automagically. at the start of
my idl.startup file, I have the following:

-------
logdate=string(strmid(systime(0),8,2),format='(i2.2)')+strmi d(systime(0),4,3)+strmid(systime(0),22,2)
logfile = '~/idl/log/idllog-'+logdate
if file_test(logfile) then print,'Log file found. no logging'
if not file_test(logfile) then print,'Beginning log file...' & journal,logfile
--------

I then have a preference set for idl (in
.idl/rsi/pref-10-idl_6_3-unix/idl.pref) that reads the idl.startup file
every time I start idl, so I get logs of all my sessions.

Note that this is a somewhat crude solution...if you start a session more
than once per day, all subsequent sessions are not logged (file already
exists)...but I tend to start a session every week or so, so that's not a
huge issue for me.

ps -- OH! I just saw "IDLDE"...I didn't realise anyone actually used that.
All my stuff is set up for terminal operation, but I imagine it should
work from IDLDE too.
