Greetings IDL comrades!

I suspect this is an overly simple question but I'm stumped.....

What I would like to do is to find out the name of the top level IDL
procedure so that I can put it via xyouts on the plots it produces:

pro junk,xxx

... various other routines and functions called to do one thing or
another ...

plot, some_vector

.... something magical happens here so that I have a variable (eg,
program_name)
that tells me the name of the program that produced this plot
is "junk"

sub_xyouts,.1,.1,' name of program that produced this plot is
'+program_name,/normal

return
end

It seems like the help command would do this somehow, but darn if I
can figure out how it might be done.

Thanks!

Mark
