The only downside to this approach is that you don't always know in
which order your directories are on your IDL path, and sometimes that
matters. I tend to add "project" directories individually, so I can move
them around as needed. This, of course, is trivial if you set the IDL
path in the IDL Workbench, since arrow buttons do the job of moving
directories around and getting them in the right order for you.
Otherwise, light editing of your .cshrc or IDL start-up file works, too.
Cheers,
David
