idlwave: The IDLWAVE Shell

 
 5 The IDLWAVE Shell
 *******************
 
 The IDLWAVE shell is an Emacs major mode which permits running the IDL
 program as an inferior process of Emacs, and works closely with the
 IDLWAVE major mode in buffers.  It can be used to work with IDL
 interactively, to compile and run IDL programs in Emacs buffers and to
 debug these programs.  The IDLWAVE shell is built on ‘comint’, an Emacs
 packages which handles the communication with the IDL program.
 Unfortunately, IDL for Windows does not have command-prompt versions and
 thus do not allow the interaction with Emacs, so the IDLWAVE shell
 currently works under only Unix and macOS.
