Notes

---

      Notes: pcon refers to IDL libraries using a short tag name
        instead of a full directory path. These tags are defined
        in a pcon setup file pointed to by the env. var. IDL_PCON.
        If IDL_PCON is not defined, pcon looks for the file
        .idl_pcon in your home directory. The file format is:
        tag full_directory
          optional library description line
        where tag must start in the first column and the
        description must be indented at least one space.
        Lines starting with * or ;, and null lines, are ignored.
        An example pcon setup file (with two libraries):
        * .idl_pcon = IDL library list for pcon.pro
        USR /data_bases/idl_libs/idlusr
          Local, general interest.
        STATLIB /usr/local/lib/idl/lib/statlib
          IDL, statistics routines.
