Here's another tip... There's a limited buffer size in the Execute method, one that's smaller than that of the command line. If you set your !path not through preferences (I only use <IDL_DEFAULT>) but through setups associated with your projects, you might find that some directories go missing in your bridge process if you simply try to set bridge->execute, '!path = "' + !path + '"'.

You can work around this by building !path in the bridge process in chunks.
