Hi Marc,
others have answered your question. I'd just mention that you can
add a "main program" at the end of your procedure as follows:

pro t1
print,'t1'
end ; end of procedure
; main level code here
t1, 17
end ; end of main level code

If that is saved as your file t1.pro, it works as a procedure, but you
can also execute the file.

IDL>.run t1
17

The utility of this is that testing you can test the code nicely, and it
serves as
an example of how to use the code. I find it quite handy.

Cheers,
bob
