I use the IDL_DLM_PATH environment for the command line as well. I
would use the IDL_DLM_PATH preference (set using PREF_SET), but it
doesn't seem to work for me on the command line (IDL 7.0, Mac OS X).
The Workbench doesn't seem to honor the environment variable though,
so I set the DLM path from the preferences of the Workbench (which I
think is using PREF_SET).
I wish I could set this in one place, but I haven't been able to yet.

Yes, I don't think you should do this unless there is no other way.
