pro saveTest, str
if(n_elements(str) eq 0) then $
r=dialog_message("No string pased, hi anyway", /INFO) $
else $
r=dialog_message(str, /INFO)
end

compile and run. Then:

save, /routines, filename="saveTest.sav"

exit idl

At command window, how do you do the runtime passing the parameter??
At IDL command line, I can just type saveTest, "Hello World!" and the
pro runs with message "Hello World!", but I've tried things like

idl -rt=saveTest.sav , "Hello World!"

doesn't work. Would it be different if it were a function instead of
procedure? Please help.
