The code for pickfile.pro is in the lib subdirectory of your
idl distribution. You can copy this to your dirtectory and
rename it, pckfile_filter.pro for instance. The change the
actual pcikfile function name to be pickfile_filter and
modify it to return the filter variable (I don't think this
is too hard, but I haven't checked properly!). Then you
can call pickfile_filter( ...other options..., filter)
from your own IDL code and it will return the filter value.
