Hmmm, if you can't remember to quit directly (I use C-d), you might add
this to your idlwave-shell-mode-hook:

(add-hook 'kill-emacs-hook
(lambda ()
(let ((buf (idlwave-shell-buffer)))
(when (get-buffer buf)
(set-buffer buf)
(if (and idlwave-shell-save-command-history
(stringp idlwave-shell-command-history-file))
(condition-case nil
(comint-write-input-ring)
(error nil)))))))
