In the VM I can run as many processes as I want. The idl_idlbridge is a little bit more tricky and there are loads of posts describing what it is useful and not useful for.

Hi,
I'm the last guy to ask about this, but there are in the DE (under Window->Source Control Tools) some you will find some tools to help you develop code together with others. More info here:
http://www.exelisvis.com/docs/IDL_Features_to_Help_You_Devel op_Code.html

I would then recommend to modify your code in the IDLDE, compile it (generate a new sav) and run it by double clicking it or with a .bat or from the IDL command line. This should solve a lot of the problems you're having.

Good luck,
Helder
