    I have just upgraded to IDL 7.0. I am working on Windows XP Pro. In previous versions, if I clicked on a .pro file in a directory, IDL would fire up and it would make the directory in which the .pro file was located the working directory. This no longer seems to function this way., In IDL 7.0, when I click on a .pro file, the working directory is some fixed, directory located elsewhere. Ive looked through the documentation, but can seem to find a setting that will set the working directory to where the files are located. Of course, I can do this manually with the cd command, but that's rather awkward. Any help is appreciated!

    As a further update: I now have the "change directory on file open" set, but alas, this doesn't apply when firing up IDL by clicking on a .pro file. I can then close the file and reopen it, and the working directory is set. But that is a pretty clunky workaround. Craig
