I haven't experienced that.....yet. The command line seems to work as
it should for me. But I can only imagine how annoying it can be.

One thing I just noticed is that if you have a string with this slash
"\" in it, the variables prints it as having two.

Here is a sample:
IDL> sasfname = 'Z:\test\sas\SAS_WEEK49.SAS'
IDL> print, sasfname
Z:\test\sas\SAS_WEEK49.SAS

but in the Variables Window it says:
Z:\\test\\sas\\SAS_WEEK49.SAS

But it doesn't work the same way if you use the other slash:
IDL> sasfname_otherslash = 'Z:/test/sas/SAS_WEEK49.SAS'
IDL> print, sasfname_otherslash
Z:/test/sas/SAS_WEEK49.SAS

and in the Variables window it says:
Z:/test/sas/SAS_WEEK49.SAS

This might be how Eclipse works but can be misleading if I use the
Variables window often.
