Hi,

The behavior you describe, David, certainly was true for macOS9 which had a very
nice IDLDE. In MacOS9 the was a problem with accumulating files in a temporary
directory; I recall haviung to manually search for and delete these (mostly)
hidden files. But in OSX with IDL6.0 I never see that memory behavior between
sessions (I haven't seen a very nice IDLDE either!)

I just tried the following without a problem.

IDL> print, !version
{ ppc darwin unix Mac OS X 6.0 Jun 27 2003 32 32}
IDL> print, path_sep()
/
