Hi, Dave. The MESSAGE procedure should work. It is usually used for
outputting error messages, but with the /INFORMATIONAL keyword set it can be
used to print any text message you wish. See p. 1-579 of the IDL Reference
Guide.

The /CALLS keyword on the HELP procedure will list the stack of
called procedures. The $MAIN$ program name will be in the stack.
Try: HELP,CALLS=STACK
Then: PRINT,STACK
