If the functions are truly related, you may want to investigate the
use of object programming. The IDL manual on the subject is quite
horrible - it assumes you want to use their object graphics and write
user interfaces in IDL (yuck). But as far as grouping related
function, it is a powerful concept. Be prepared to dive into pointers
though.
