FYI, what I found out:

I ended up contacting RSI directly. (I was desperate for an answer). As I'm
sure you all know, RSI has a _very_ limited support staff and should be
contacted only when all local resources have been exhausted. Nevertheless, I
have always received prompt, courteous and helpful replies. Thank you, RSI!

RSI answered that there is no need to compile the initialization procedures, as
long as they are in the IDL_PATH. The .run executive command is not valid
syntax unless typed at the command line interactively. Automatic compilation
should take care of my problem of having "undefined" system variables.

limit for postings to stay available.
