Hello,
I guess along the same topic but a slightly different question; how do I
get the IDL shell to pick up the modifications in my .tcshrc file that I
made to IDL's !PATH variable. I can't manage to get the shell to pick
up my modifications although it's there when I start IDL from the
command line or IDLDE.
IDL 5.6 on MacOSX
Thanks for any advise,
Ben
