IDL 7.0: Based on advice from an earlier thread, I now import every
single possibly needed library into my project before I build, to try
to resolve dependencies. Build time went from 7s to over 1 min.
Fine, but now when I try to run from the built .sav file, I get the
following message:

The following error was encountered: Keyword MYKEYWORD not allowed in
call to: MYFUNCTION.

That's bull. The first keyword for MYFUNCTION is in fact MYKEYWORD.
The source for MYFUNCTION is right there in the project now, and there
is no other myfunction.pro anywhere on the entire computer (I
searched), so I can't see how it's getting confused.

Again, the same exact application works fine if I just run it in
IDLDE, and has worked fine for years! It seems almost impossible to
build a binary from a huge old application like this, written over
several years by several different programmers coming in and out of a
research lab. What's really annoying is the program works perfectly
fine in the development environment, so there's nothing wrong with the
code.

Is there any way to just create a shortcut to a script to tell IDLDE
to run the program *as if* it's a standalone program, without the
development environment ever popping up in a window at all? That
would be fine with me, since our computers all have IDL licenses.
(I'm exaggerating, but it feels like I could re-write this whole thing
in Python in the time it's taking me to build a .sav file from working
code!)

Thanks for any suggestions.
