Allow me to step in with a plug for IDLWAVE. If you are running in
the IDLWAVE shell, and a program stops in the middle, for whatever
reason (STOP, a breakpoint, a run-time error, C-c, etc.), the status
bar in the buffer will show you exactly "where" you are in the calling
stack, e.g.

[0:MYROUTINE]

If you navigate the call stack, this will update as well. If you're
at the main level, the stack status will clear.
