I am running IDL 7.0.6 on Ubuntu Linux. I would like to set the default File->Open directory for opening source files. I use 'cd' when running procedures. I've tried Windows->Preferences->IDL->Paths, but can't figure out how to get this to work. Does anyone know where this is? I wonder if the system variable is set in a start-up script somewhere? Thanks. Steve

To set the working directory go to Windows->Preferences->IDL, then on the right hand side, change the value for "Initial working directory:" Or you can use the cd procedure as you indicated like so: cd, '/some/path/' You could also put that line of code into an IDL batch file and set this batch file to be the Startup File in your IDL preferences as well. -Josh

Josh, Thank you. My eyes must have been tired yesterday. The start-up script you mentioned also looks useful. Thanks again. Steve
