I don't think that the problem is with windows itself. I'm sure there
is a way to spawn or otherwise start something from within their
desktop application (details depending on how it was written). The
problem is that there is not a command-line idl on windows, so the
"idl foo.pro" idiom is not available. To start IDL, they have to
start the IDL IDE. On windows, the "I" really does mean interactive!
That's one reason (among others) why we run all of our "batch" IDL
codes on *nix boxen.
