2.6.3 Running IDL programs

When running on a Unix system, it is important to use lower case when using the .RUN command because Unix is case sensitive. This is not necessary when doing an `implied' compilation when accessing procedures or functions since IDL will convert to lower case for you. You cannot use upper case for a procedure to do an explicit compilation (.RUN PROCEDURE_NAME) to recompile a procedure.
