Dear Users
I will try to explain the problems with 2 examples.
I use idl 7.1. I have download some external libraries.
Example 1.
when i try to use a program (pro or function) that call external
programs (pro or functions) i have to open all the external files and
compile them before i compile my program. Any suggestion to solve this
"problem"?
Example 2.
when i put the cursor to a program (pro or function) it gives me some
informations about this program (pro or function)
Now one of the library programs i use calls a pro. When i put the
cursor on the pro name it it gives me its description. Unfortunatelly
this pro is not in a file (eg klmn.pro) but it is within another
porgram file. I can not locate the file where the program is program
(its not a good idea to open every individual file and look for the
pro because the structure is chaotic). I cant run my program because
something is not compiled. Any idea how can i locate the file that
the program is in it? IF not any suggestion how can i compile it.
All the programs from the external libraries i use are in the IDL PATH
( Window -> Preferences. -> IDL -> path )
THANK you in advance for your help.
PLEASE forgive my poor english

I'm not sure "public" has much to do with it. It is
certainly OK to have multiple program units in a file,
if all but the last program unit are utility routines
for the last program unit and THEY ARE NAMED AS SUCH.
When they are given willy-nilly names, even if they
are utility routines, they become essentially
impossible to find if there are a lot of them.
I am *totally* sympathetic to Konstantinos lament.
Cheers,
David

That is the appropriate, when the only routine intended to be public
is the last one in the file (with the same name as the file).
