A good method, but not perfect. It doesn't find any routine called with
EXECUTE, CALL_PROCEDURE, or CALL_FUNCTION. But it should be possible to
write a program that does the following:
* resolve_all
* get all compiled routines with -- was it HELP,... ?
there is also some output of the filenames for these routines
* loop through all files and look for EXECUTE, CALL_... statements
and analyze their argument. If the argument is a simple
string, you can assume there should be a file named <string>.pro
if the argument is some sort of variable, it's harder. Maybe
it's enough to simply print out a list of all EXECUTE and
CALL_... statements. Of course you can do that with grep
(one of the many many reasons why I will never switch from Unix
to Windows - although I am told it exists for Windows which is
to say for DOS)

just $0.02, or 0.0212 Euro ;-)
