I suggest that you investigate using the IDL "path." IDL searches the
path for program files no matter where your data is located. See the
IDL documentation for "!PATH"

As for automating processing with "huge" numbers of folders, your best
bet is probably to investigate using the "CD" procedure. This
procedure allows your program to change working folders under program
control, so that you can switch from one folder to the next in
succession, without quitting your program.
