If IDL is installed in /Applications/itt/idl, then make sure that /
Applications/itt/idl/bin is in your path, and type:

idlde

(you can do "echo $PATH" to see what the path looks like... if it's
not there, then add it with "export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/itt/idl/
bin" if you're using a Bourne-style shell like sh or bash or "setenv
PATH $PATH:/Applications/itt/idl/bin" if you're using a C-shell style
shell like csh or tcsh)
