With Subclipse, if you right-click on the folder in the
SVN Repository view, you don't get anything like a TEAM menu. You
do have the option to "Checkout", and you can make a new Project
in in the Workspace to checkout to.

I'm not sure what a "sandbox" is, but it certainly appears to me
the files were copied into the directory that is now the IDL
project. In fact, indubitably so.

The key thing appears to be that the file MUST be in a directory
or project that was checked out or created from the repository by
Subclipse. Then, you DO get the Team menu with useful options.
Thanks for the help.
