Martin,
Please accept my most humble apologies; you are correct. I was
mistakenly basing my comments on the IDL 5.1 and 5.2 documentation,
which is apparently dead wrong (or at least incomplete). To see what I
mean, check out the online book 'Using IDL', section 'Running IDL',
'Batch Execution'.
Cheers,
Liam.
