I have a very crude version of an IDL mode which sort of works.
Basically, I took fortran.el and hacked at it mercilessly.
I need someone who (1) knows IDL and (2) knows elisp to
take a look at it and help me improve it.  I've gotten
a few of the basic functions working like idl-comment-region
and idl-split-line and I have a few abbrevs defined.  The
next big hurdle is calculate-idl-indent (aye, there's the rub).
The syntax table could also use some help.

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks,
pat
