I'm not sure that I fully understand this, but it seems very useful. I am also writing a GUI application which would benefit from the ability to be scripted...
ah - I see. If one had their IDL code already built into a SAV file... using this tool one would still be able to add features to the code by writing a "plugin" module (in IDL) and then using MIDLE to execute it. This would also be VM-safe. cool!
