Thanks, Mike. I think your suggestion narrows down the problem. When
I invoke IDL from a shell session, like you did, I get the following:

bash-3.2$ idl
IDL Version 8.0.1, Mac OS X (darwin x86_64 m64). (c) 2010, ITT Visual
Information Solutions
Installation number: 230343.
Licensed for use by: Computer Sciences Corporation

IDL> PRINT, getenv('SEADAS')
/Volumes/1TBSATDATA/sw/seadas6.2
IDL>

which is correct. However, I was working from within the IDL
development environment (MacOS10.6.7) and this is the result there:

IDL Version 8.0.1, Mac OS X (darwin x86_64 m64). (c) 2010, ITT Visual
Information Solutions
Installation number: 230343.
Licensed for use by: Computer Sciences Corporation

IDL> PRINT, getenv('SEADAS')

IDL>

which isn't correct. I may need to add something (not sure what) to a
start-up script somewhere.
