Another trick i do a lot is just print out the command that you're
going to spawn using a print statement, then open up your own command
window and paste in that command. The command shell isn't going to
close when you do that, and I often find it's easier to fix whatever
mistakes i've made with the command i'm trying to issue in the actual
command window then go back to my IDL program and make sure it spawns
the fixed command.
