Not sure if this is what you need, but what I do is use the idl virtual machine (I think !).
You have to locate the file idlrt.exe in you idl distribution and then use it like this (on windows!):
c:\>"c:\Program Files\Exelis\...\idlrt.exe" d:\MySoft\testfile.sav

Of course you need to make a sav file before hand.
Also, I'm not sure how this would look like on linux, but I just guess you need an extra ./ before the executable.

Hope it helps.

Invokingly yours,
Helder
