If you are on Windows, there might be a way. I believe that Matlab has
an ActiveX control that gives you access to it. So, you could use the
IDL-COM import subsystem to create an instance of the Matlab ActiveX
control, and issue commands to it from IDL...though, marshaling data
back and forth might be tricky. COM data types are fickle; and, the
implementation of a particular COM/ActiveX control might limit the
supported COM data types.

If you are on Unix, you might have to create a custom IDL DLM that
accesses Matlab via entry points in a shared library, or some other
Matlab mechanism for C-callable access.
