Hi Colin,
    I created a test bundle and isl for you, basically copy the isl from the 
user guide. You can save these two files in the same directory, and run the 
IDV. To the ISL into the IDV, you can do:

File > open, and select the isl file, it will generated the same image as 
attached. The latlon values in the image may not be right, you can always 
adjust those values in the isl.

By the way, if your IDV is very old version, it may not working. This maybe why 
you are getting the unknown tag error. If so, please update the software.
