Compiling Programs
------------------

   In order to compile the current buffer under the IDLWAVE shell, press
`C-c C-d C-c' (`idlwave-save-and-run').  This first saves the current
buffer and then send the command `.run path/to/file' to the shell.  You
can also execute `C-c C-d C-c' from the shell buffer, in which case the
most recently compiled buffer will be saved and re-compiled.

   When developing or debugging a program, it is often necessary to
execute the same command line many times.  A convenient way to do this
is `C-c C-d C-y' (`idlwave-shell-execute-default-command-line').  This
command first resets IDL from a state of interrupted execution by
closing all files and returning to the main interpreter level.  Then a
default command line is send to the shell.  To edit the default command
line, call `idlwave-shell-execute-default-command-line' with a prefix
argument: `C-u C-c C-d C-y'.

 - User Option: idlwave-shell-mark-stop-line (`t')
     Non-`nil' means, mark the source code line where IDL is currently
     stopped.  The value decides about the preferred method.  Legal
     values are `nil', `t', `arrow', and `face'.

 - User Option: idlwave-shell-overlay-arrow (`">"')
     The overlay arrow to display at source lines where execution halts.

 - User Option: idlwave-shell-stop-line-face
     The face which highlights the source line where IDL is stopped.
