This is exceedingly strange. :-)

The only way it could possibly be "compiling" the file
is if your IDL paths are all higgly-squiggly. Now, this could
*certainly* happen if you are allowing IDL to set up your
paths for you. But if you have been reading this newsgroup
for any length of time, I find it hard to believe that
this is so.

In any case, since it is IDL 7 we are talking about here,
I would just make ABSOLUTELY sure that your projects
are NOT mucking with your IDL paths and that all your
path directories are being set in the PATHS preferences.

Maybe that will straighten things out.

You might find my PrintPath routine helpful in sorting all this
out. I know I certainly have. :-)
