I have no idea how you organize your routines but there are common rules.

a) use one file per routine
b) name the file name of the file exactly the same as your routine
b.a) use the extension .pro
c) use always lower case file names.
d) make sure your file are saved in the the idl search path, check
!path

e) file a bug report if it does not behave (you already doing so)

if not a) make sure the last routine in the file is the one used for the
file name.

For example just open the ide and call print, mean(findgen(10)).
mean is a idl source function. You can open it by .edit mean on the idl
input line.
