-I was wondering if it is possible to start IDL quietly. I start

-I tried: fp=popen('idl > idl.txt','w') but that doesn't do the
-trick, and I couldn't find any startup options which would
-disable the startup message....

I believe the startup message is sent to 'standard error', but the
'>' only redirects 'standard output'. Try redirecting both. Under
UNIX with the C-shell, try idl >& idl.txt
In fact, if you don't want the output at all, send it to the null
device by using idl >& /dev/null

Hope that helps
