I just went through that exercise a few weeks ago. Your FAQ is
dated. And if you ask RSI, they don't know what you're talking about
either. The ftp server at UCSB has been changed. The new server is
now
eos.crseo.ucsb.edu

and you'll find all the .el files you want, and a few others goodies
in /pub/idl. You should get both idl.el and idl-shell.el. They
work very well. The thing I like the most about the idl-shell mode is
how easy it is to debug an idl code. If you had experience with the
old idltool that runs in sunview which used to have very convinient
way to set and clear breakpoints. This is just as good.

The above information about UCSB ftp server was provided by the
IDL FAQ maintainer Mike Schienle (8015@sbjse0.sbrc.hac.com).
