I suppose that 'which' function only works with .pro files.
As Kenneth Mankoff suggested, we can use "IDL> help, /source" to find them.

I make frequent use of a procedure called "which" which does just this.
I forget where I originally got the code from... Ah, OK. A web search
finds it at
http://www.astro.washington.edu/deutsch-bin/getpro/library02 .html?WHICH
Actually, now that I look at that, that's *not* the same thing as the
"which.pro" that I have. The output is basically the same, but the one
I have is substantially faster. I've included the text of this below.
If anyone has any idea where this code originally came from or who
the author is, please let me know. I hope the unknown "JAV" responsible for
this code doesn't mind my posting it here, as it's really an exceptionally
usefull little bit of software.

When using IDLDE "built-in" commands are highlighted in dark blue
(procedures are darker than functions) whilst functions and procedures
written in IDL are in light blue (again, procedures are darker than
functions). This is with the default settings in IDLDE for windows.
DILATE comes up dark blue, leading me to believe it is written in C as part
of IDL and the source is unavailable. Looking in print,!dir+'\lib' I don't
see dilate.pro which seems to confirm IDLDE's behaviour.

I like more the file_which.
print,file_which('mean.pro')
% Compiled module: FILE_WHICH.
% Compiled module: PATH_SEP.
/usr/local/idl/idl/lib/mean.pro

Dear all
If you have a look at IDLDE Run - Profile and System Modules
you get a complete list of IDL Routines.
I believe this list comes from
Routine_Info with the System keyword.
SYSTEM
Set this keyword to return a string array listing all IDL built-in
internal procedures. Built-in internal procedures are part of the IDL
executable, and are not written in the IDL language. If the FUNCTIONS
keyword is also set, ROUTINE_INFO returns a list of all IDL built-in
internal functions.
regards
Reimar
