If you're using IDL 6.2 or later, you can grab your command history
buffer, edit any necessary lines, and paste them back to the command
line.

A couple years ago I wrote a handy utility for managing the command history
buffer. It's available at

http://www.ittvis.com/codebank/search.asp?FID=350

When the command history window is in focus, you can edit the text, select
the lines you want to execute and copy them. Then switch focus to the
IDE command line and paste them in for execution.

When you find you have a group of commands that you execute often, paste
them into a .pro file and you've got the start of your very own utility
library.
