Startup file, environment variables, path and all that

[Former user]

I used IDL a while ago. I have installed FL and can get to the interactive window but I am not sure about a few things. Do I need to run a startup bat file for setting the PATH etc. ? Where would I put this file ? Where should I save .pro files I create?

In this respect, FL should work as IDL. Put your .pro files wherever you want, and add the location to !PATH. You can set it manually, or, optionally, you can do it automatically in a startup file. Again, create the startup file wherever you want, and point IDL_STARTUP to it.
