helpon,'file_search' ,/info
shows where everything used comes from and when it was last changed

The reason why on some applications I started putting version numbers

I am not certain this is what you are asking for, but
http://idlastro.gsfc.nasa.gov/ftp/pro/misc/findpro.pro
will list all versions of a procedure in your !PATH (with the one that will be compiled listed first). --Wayne
