Ah, that explains it! I think if you name
your programs properly, this problem will
disappear.

http://www.idlcoyote.com/tips/namefiles.html

The Workbench "run" buttons don't really run
anything. What they do is compile all the program
modules in the file, then they try to "run" the
program module that has the same name as the
file. Had you named your files in the conventional
way, this could (under a limited set of circumstances)
actually work properly for you. But, since you give
your files names that are different from the last
program module in the file, the run button is always
"looking" for this file and failing to find it.

You can safely ignore the error messages (although
God knows they are sure to get tedious!), use the
.RUN command from the IDL command line, or simply
give your files the right names and all will be
well with the world! :-)

Cheers,

David
