Have you tried HELP, /FUNCTIONS or HELP, /PROCEDURES or more
generically HELP, /ROUTINES?
I don't know of any other way, and if you have multiple routines
running you mightn't be able to distinguish, but hope it helps.
Cheers

David, how are people ever going to learn to stand on their own feet when
you keep handing them all the solutions on a silver platter :-) Speaking of
canned stuff (on a silver platter?), look at

Well, remember, I'm gathering material to teach in IDL
courses. Everyone else is just taking five illicit minutes
away from work. :-)
Cheers,
David

I suppose that's exactly the difference between David and a typical
participant of this newsgroup ;-) - taking the extra 5 minutes to help out.

Oh, of course. I use that pedagogical trick myself from
time to time. :-)

Probably not. I stole this from some working code. I'm
sure there is a reason for it somewhere. :-)

Hi David,
right you are !
I left the solution to the reader, so that he could consult the online
help and understand what he is doing
;-))
BTW, the strCompress call is not really necessary for THIS purpose, is it?

Uh, right. Sort of like this:
PRO EXAMPLE
Help, Calls=callStack
thisRoutine = (StrSplit(StrCompress(callStack[0])," ", /Extract))[0]
Print, 'I am ' + thisRoutine
END
IDL> example
I am EXAMPLE

David
