When you say "run any program", do you mean *any* program. E.g. if you created a procedure to simply print something, i.e.

$ cat > howdy.pro
pro howdy
print, 'hello world!'
end
^D

and then ran it in IDL, e.g.

$ idl
IDL> howdy
% Compiled module: HOWDY.
hello world!
IDL>

just doing this you would get a "File does not exist: 'File name'" message?

So you would get the output "hello world" along with the "File does not exist: 'File name'" message?

And is "File name" the actual string, or is it a variable containing the name of a file?

cheers,
